How do you change insurance beneficiary?

Only the owner of the policy can change the beneficiary of a life insurance policy or make any other changes to the policy. Most of the time the owner and person insured is the same person but not always. The owner is usually the one who paid the premiums. If you are the owner, changing the beneficiary is a simple completion of a change form. Most insurance companies have a change form that has places for several different types of changes on one sheet of paper. After the change in beneficiary is processed the company will send you a certified copy to place in your policy.
