    Sometimes life just happens. Your make plans and they change. Life insurance policies allow you to assign beneficiaries to receive your life insurance proceeds in the event of your demise. But sometimes you may want a “back up” beneficiary, in case the primary beneficiary has died or that relationships change. That’s a contingency plan. That’s a contingent beneficiary.

    A contingent beneficiary is a beneficiary that is next in line should the primary beneficiary die before the insured. This is most common use is with a husband and wife with children. If both parents were to die in a car accident or plane crash, their children would be named the contingent beneficiaries on the life insurance plan.
