incidents of ownership

Read a random definition: certificate of official character

A quick definition of incidents of ownership:

Incidents of ownership: This means having certain rights or benefits over something you own. For example, if you own a house with a mortgage, you have the right to collect rent from tenants. In life insurance, it means having the power to change the beneficiary, cancel the policy, or receive the money from the policy. It's important for taxes and who gets the money when you die. But, if you only have a small power over something you own, like deciding when you get the money, it might not count as an incident of ownership.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Incidents of ownership refer to the rights or benefits that a person possesses or retains over a property. This term is commonly used in life insurance or property disputes.

For example, if a person has a mortgage on a property, they have the right to receive rent from that property. This is an incident of ownership. However, if the person defaults on their mortgage, the mortgagee (the lender) obtains all incidents of ownership and the right to possess the property.

In the context of life insurance policies, incidents of ownership refer to the rights that the insured or their estate has over the policy. This includes the right to receive the economic benefits of the insurance, the power to change the beneficiary, and the power to surrender or cancel the policy.

For instance, if a person has a life insurance policy and they have the power to change the beneficiary, this is an incident of ownership. If they pass away and their estate has the power to receive the economic benefits of the policy, this is also an incident of ownership.

It's important to note that incidents of ownership are relevant for tax considerations for beneficiaries (see Internal Revenue Code Section 2042).

Overall, incidents of ownership refer to the rights or benefits that a person has over a property or life insurance policy. These rights can impact tax considerations and can be important in property or insurance disputes.
