Insurance Trusts Malaysia

The purpose of an Insurance Trust is to name the Trust as the beneficiary of the insurance proceeds, in the insurance policy. This means the insurance policy is assigned to the trust to receive the proceeds of the insurance policy.

In the event the Insurance is triggered to payout, the proceeds will be paid into the Insurance Trust. The Insurance Trust will then distribute or manage the insurance proceeds according to the Trust Deed of the Insurance Trust. This Trust Deed is the instructions of the Settlor, who created the Insurance Trust.

The beneficiaries of the Insurance Trust can be the Settlor and their family members. The Settlor can be included, in the event the Settlor becomes totally disabled, triggering the life insurance payout. The Trust Deed will manage the proceeds to the Settlor. If the Settlor then dies, then the proceeds will be distributed according to the Trust Deed.

Life insurance and Critical Illness Insurance policies can be added to the Insurance Trust. Contact our expert insurance agent who knows trusts and insurance assignee requirements.

If you want the insurance to be distributed effectively, you have to ensure the insurable interest of all the parties in the trust concerned. This means the relationship between the life assured, Settlor, Beneficial Owners and Beneficiaries of the Trust. There are other types of trusts in Malaysia besides Insurance Trust.

An insurable interest of a Trust is evidence that the related parties in the trust will suffer a financial loss if the insured life is totally disabled or deceased. In this case the related parties should have a direct relationship with the insured. This will depend on the insurance policy requirements and trustee deed requirements. Which is why an experienced insurance agent and trust estate planner is important to advice you in this matter.
