illinois insurance statutes
(215 ILCS 5/238) (from Ch. 73, par. 850)
Sec. 238. Exemption.
(a) All proceeds payable because of the death of the insured and the aggregate net cash value of any or all life and endowment policies and annuity contracts payable to a wife or husband of the insured, or to a child, parent or other person dependent upon the insured, whether the power to change the beneficiary is reserved to the insured or not, and whether the insured or his estate is a contingent beneficiary or not, shall be exempt from execution, attachment, garnishment or other process, for the debts or liabilities of the insured incurred subsequent to the effective date of this Code, except as to premiums paid in fraud of creditors within the period limited by law for the recovery thereof.
my question is whether as the statutes seem to indicate that quote,
"or other person dependent upon the insured, whether the power to change the beneficiary is reserved to the insured or not, and whether the insured or his estate is a contingent beneficiary or not, shall be exempt"
i am the annuitant (i.e.) insured, and funding the annuity and dependent on the proceeds for retirement.
it seems to indicate the insured can be a beneficiary.
