Should a guarantor's primary beneficiary die before the guarantor, the Will can be amended to remove the beneficiary from the Will, and a secondary beneficiary can then be included. If there were multiple beneficiaries, the guarantor could decide to allocate a new beneficiary or distribute the departed beneficiary's share among the remaining beneficiaries. Some states use the Uniform Probate Code, which states a beneficiary must survive at least five days after the death of the guarantor to inherit the property. If there is no alternative beneficiary, the property is subjected to the state's Anti-Lapse laws.
