Life Insurance Death Benefits: How to Complete Your Gift

It's easy, powerful and painless—designate us as the beneficiary of your life insurance.

Changing Beneficiaries
Using life insurance is a popular way to make a future donation in support of our work. To change beneficiaries of your life insurance, take these simple steps:

• Contact your insurance company for its change of beneficiary form.
• To name PETA as a beneficiary, decide what percentage of the policy's value you would like us to receive and name us along with the stated percentage on the beneficiary form.
• Return the form to your insurance company.
• Keep a copy for your records and give a copy to your estate planning attorney.

Quick Tip
Life insurance proceeds can be divided among more than one beneficiary on a single policy.
