Why is a death benefit deposited with a court?

• When the beneficiaries are minors
• If there is no Designation of Beneficiaries and there is a widow(er), but you fail to submit a marriage certificate or declaration of heirs that certifies the widow(er)’s usufruct
• The beneficiaries are not capable of managing funds
• The beneficiaries die before the insured and no declaration of heirs is submitted
• The beneficiaries die at the same time and it is not possible to determine who died first
• If the beneficiaries’ whereabouts are unknown
• If there is more than one Designation of Beneficiaries
• More than one person is claiming benefits
• Total of the distribution indicated in the designation does not add up to 100% of the coverage
• It is not possible to determine whether the beneficiaries came of legal age
• Beneficiaries are suspects of the insured’s death
• An accidental coverage is claimed and a determination cannot be issued as to whether the death was self-inflicted
