No. It is not a mandatory requirement. It is a choice of the policy owner. However, under Schedule 10 of the Financial Service Act 2013, a policy owner may nominate a natural person to receive policy moneys payable upon his death. Chubb is therefore providing this right to nominate if the policy owner so chooses. A copy of the Nomination Form can be downloaded here. If the policy owner does not nominate, the policy moneys will be paid to the rightful beneficiary of their estate.

However, in the event that the policy owner so wishes to nominate, the Nomination Form has to be filled up accordingly, signed by the policy owner and witnessed by a person of sound mind, who has attained the aged of 18 years of age and who is not the named nominee. If this is not done, the Nomination Form is not valid Chubb cannot pay out policy moneys in reliance of an invalid Nomination Form. The signed and witnessed Nomination Form can then be faxed or emailed to us.

The policy owner can nominate anyone but should he/she choose to nominate someone other than his/her child, spouse or parent, Schedule 10 of the Financial Service Act 2013 provides that the person can only receive the policy moneys as executor (not as beneficiary). If the policy owner wishes for that person to receive the moneys as beneficiary, then the policy owner will have to assign the policy benefits to that person.
