How to use this document In Good Order Guide - 2014 Welcome to our Life Operations In Good Order (IGO) Guide. These guidelines are applicable to all Transamerica Life Canada combined life products. This document is for in-force business only. This document outlines the IGO guidelines that Transamerica Life Canada follows with respect to the processing of life policy transactions. These guidelines are in addition to any requirements outlined in the application and policy contract. For each transaction, an IGO guideline is provided, along with the action the In-force Life Operations Business Unit will take if a transaction does not meet the guideline. Note: Current applications and forms are required at all times. Outdated forms will be considered not in good order. As many of you work with large numbers of advisors who are regionally dispersed, the demand for immediate and accurate service is essential. This is the main reason we have taken the steps to develop these guidelines: to improve the quality of service to you and your clients. Transactions that are not in good order (NGO) will be rejected, as they cannot be processed. Similarly, the Transamerica Life Products Operations Team will abide by these guidelines, and any incomplete transactions will not be processed until the transactional information received is in good order. We recommend that distributors who receive transactions from their advisors for transmission to Transamerica screen each application and/or transaction prior to submitting the transaction to the Life Products Operations Business Unit. For advisors who choose to submit transactions directly to our office, please follow these guidelines, as they are applicable to you. Incomplete transactions will be returned to the advisor or advisor s distribution office by fax for follow-up concerning the required information. In the event that Transamerica Canada Life amends certain guidelines or processes, then each distributor office will be provided with a special bulletin outlining the changes and their respective implementation dates. This IGO guide does not form part of any contract. In the event of conflict between the contract and this IGO guide, the terms of the contract prevail. 5

Death of an owner Sole owner An ownership change occurs when satisfactory proof of the owner s death is received by Transamerica Life Canada. Satisfactory proof of death is a notarized copy or original copy of the death certificate. If no contingent owner is named, the ownership will change to The estate of the deceased. Contingent owner If there is a contingent owner on record, then the ownership is automatically changed to the contingent owner s name. Multiple owners When a policy has two or more owners and one of those owners dies, you must first determine whether the policy is joint or tenants in common. This will determine the proper requirements needed to change the ownership. Joint When a policy has joint ownership the rights of the deceased automatically go to the survivor. The only requirement needed to proceed is a certified copy of the death certificate. Owner change forms are not required for policies that are designated as joint ownership. Tenants in common spousal For policies that are tenants in common, and the owners are spouses, note that we will administer the ownership change in accordance with what is set out in the will. The only requirements needed to proceed are a certified copy of the death certificate and copy of the deceased s will. Owner change forms are not required for policies where the deceased is a spouse. Tenants in common non-spousal For policies that are tenants in common, and the owners are not spouses, the executor of the estate must act on behalf of the deceased, and must, along with the other owner(s), provide the following items: notarized copy of the deceased s will certified copy of the death certificate owner change form, completed in full the signature of the executor of the deceased in place of the signature of the deceased owner 56
