A death benefit is payable 'per stirpes.' If a primary beneficiary dies before the insured, that beneficiary's share will:

a.Revert to the insurer and be kept as an unclaimed benefit
b.Pass to that deceased beneficiary's own descendants (heirs)
c.Automatically be paid to the insured's probate estate
d.Be divided equally among the surviving primary beneficiaries

Explicación

Per stirpes ('by the branch') directs a deceased beneficiary's share down to that beneficiary's own descendants. Splitting it among survivors describes per capita, and the share does not revert to the insurer or default to the estate.
