Yes, if the plan’s trust document includes annuities as an acceptable investment of plan assets. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for tax consequences caused by incorrect beneficiary designations: death benefits will be paid to the beneficiary on record on the annuity contract as of the date of the annuitant’s death. However, the trustees of the trust and/or legal and tax advisors to the trust may have reasons for recommending someone else be named as the beneficiary.

Usually, the trust should be the beneficiary of the annuity contract so that in the event of the annuitant’s death, the death benefit will be distributed in accordance with the provisions of the trust. If they do not, the page(s) of the trust document which stipulate whether the trustees can act on behalf of the trust singularly or must act together must also be provided. If the trust has multiple trustees, the Certificate of Trust or Affidavit of Trust usually describe whether the trustees can act singularly or must act together.

Lindberg also faces a separate Securities and Exchange Commission complaint accusing him of a “massive fraudulent scheme.”Ĭausey’s department took control in 2019 of three of Lindberg’s insurance companies, and one re-insurance company, eventually reporting the shortfall.
