Quora Answer: Can a Stepmother be a Beneficiary of a Life Insurance Policy?

The following is my answer to a Quora question: “Can a stepmother be a beneficiary of a life insurance policy? 

When incepting a policy, a person can only take out a policy on a person where there is insurable interest.  In this case, that insurable interest has to be the spouse, parents, children, and key staff.  A stepmother is not in that equation.  However, a policy owner may nominate the beneficiaries.  The stepmother or anyone else can be nominated as a beneficiary by the owner of the policy.
