The death benefit is paid to the beneficiary nominated by the policy owner provided he or she is above 18 years of age. In the case where no beneficiary is nominated, the death benefit will be paid to the legal representative of the deceased’s estate or alternative as provided by the law.

It is advisable for the beneficiary to submit a Leers of Administration to enable the insurance company to write a leer to your bank authorising keen of the deceased to access the funds. Leers of Administration is essentially a grant of administration by law allowing a named individual to administer the estate (when a person dies, all their personal assets, including property, bank accounts, investments and personal belongings in their sole name collectively form part of their estate).

Leers of Administration are issued to the person (or their guardian if they are a minor) if the deceased died without a will or if they did not name an executor as such for whatever reason. The Leers of Administration are granted by the Chief or Sub-Chief of the location the deceased came from to permit and authorise the administrator to deal with the management and distribution of a deceased person’s property.
