7 Who is your beneficiary?

List each beneficiary and check whether primary or contingent. Death benefit proceeds will be divided equally among the named beneficiaries, unless you indicate otherwise. To list more beneficiaries, use section 10 or use a separate signed and dated sheet of paper. The owner has the right to predetermine how a beneficiary will receive the death benefit by completing form 40RESTRICT(ML).

  If a joint owner is named in section 2C, list each contingent beneficiary, if any, below. “Surviving spouse” is your automatic primary beneficiary and any beneficiary you name below will be treated as a contingent beneficiary regardless of the type checked. This automatic designation of your primary beneficiary will ensure your spouse can continue the contract if you die prior to the payout date.
  If there is no joint owner named in section 2C, or a trust is named as owner in section 2A, list each primary beneficiary and each contingent beneficiary, if any, below. If the type (primary or contingent) is not checked, primary is assumed. If a trust is named as owner, the trust is typically named as the primary beneficiary.
  If there is one owner on this contract and you named the spouse beneficiary as the covered person in section 3, your automatic primary beneficiary will be your spouse and any beneficiary you name below will be treated as a contingent beneficiary regardless of the type checked. This automatic designation of your primary beneficiary will ensure you can name your spouse as a covered person.
