Many of the respondents (84%) say they’ve talked with their beneficiaries about the policy. Most talked about the face value of the policy (53%), who the beneficiaries are (47%), and who the life insurance agent is (20%). And, 91% of policyholders say their beneficiaries are aware of being designated on the policy.
