What if I am not insurable? If you are not insurable, American National will consider an annuity contract. Form AIP002
Can American National keep track of my grandchild’s address over the years if they move or change their name after marrying? Yes. Insurance companies track addresses of beneficiaries and beneficiary name changes all the time in their regular course of business. However, the company should be notified of address changes. Form AIP002
What happens if I stop making premium payments? If you stop making premium payments (and don’t withdraw the cash value of the policy), the policy does have a feature called ‘paid-up insurance.’ Depending on the amount of ‘paid-up insurance’ that has accumulated, your grandchildren may still receive an annual gift, subject to the $ minimum, but the amount may be less than you had selected. Form AIP002
What happens if my grandchild were to die before me? If you have named more than one grandchild as a beneficiary, all surviving grandchildren will share equally, so if a grandchild were to die before you do, the other grandchildren’s annual gifts’ would increase proportionately. If you have named one grandchild as a beneficiary and that grandchild dies before you do, you may elect to name a new beneficiary. Form AIP002
Can the gift come from both the grandmother and grandfather? Yes. You can have the card come from both of you. However, only one of you will be insured. The gift will begin after the insured grandparent passes away. Form AIP002
How much does it cost? The cost of your policy depends on your age, smoking status, number of grandchildren, and annual gift you want to provide. Please complete and return the cost form and I will provide you the needed information. Form AIP002
