Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer
When a beneficiary predeceases the policyholder and no alternate or contingent beneficiary has been named, the portion allocated to the deceased beneficiary is typically redistributed among the surviving beneficiaries.
Since Michelle was named as a revocable beneficiary and predeceased Danny, her one-third share will be divided equally between the remaining two beneficiaries, Donna-Joe and Stephanie.
Thus, Donna-Joe and Stephanie will each receive half of the total death benefit ($500,000 each), as per LLQP guidelines which state that a predeceased beneficiary's share is typically redistributed among surviving beneficiaries unless otherwise specified.
