Can I add or remove beneficiaries from my policy?

Asked 2 years ago
Yes, a policyholder typically has the option to add or remove beneficiaries from their policy. MetLife allows policyholders to make these changes during their policy's term, and it is an important part of managing one's insurance policy to ensure that the intended individuals receive the benefits. To add a beneficiary, you usually need to provide the beneficiary's name, relationship to you, and possibly their contact information. When removing a beneficiary, it is important to follow the correct procedures to ensure the change is officially recognized. It is advisable to check the specific terms and conditions of your policy for any requirements or limitations regarding beneficiary changes. Additionally, for the most accurate and current information, policyholders can visit the MetLife website or retrieve their policy documents, which will provide detailed instructions on how to proceed with beneficiary modifications.
