The benefits can be paid in one sum or, at a Covered Person's written request, In accordance with <br />one of our settlement plans. If a Covered Person has not requested any settlement plan, the beneficiary can do <br />so in writing after a Covered Person's death. If there is no named beneficiary or surviving beneficiary, a Covered <br />Person's loss of life benefits will be paid in one sum to the first surviving class of following in the order shown <br />below: <br />(1) The beneficiary named to receive a Covered Person's proceeds; <br />(2) Spouse; <br />(3) Child or children; <br />(4) Mother or father; <br />(5) Sisters or brothers; or <br />(6) The estate of a Covered Person. <br />If we are to pay benefits to the estate or to a person who is incapable of giving a valid release, we may pay up to <br />$1,000 to a relative by blood or marriage whom we believe is equitably entitled. This good faith payment satisfies <br />our legal duty to the extent of that payment. <br />Any other accrued benefits which are unpaid at a Covered Person's death may, at our option, be paid either to his <br />beneficiary or to his estate.
