In Quebec, an irrevocable beneficiary designation remains in effect even after a divorce, unless the policyholder takes steps to change it. Because Rajbir is designated as the irrevocable beneficiary, Surjit would require Rajbir’s consent to alter the beneficiary designation. Since Surjit intends to keep Rajbir as the beneficiary, he does not need to take any additional action, as the irrevocable beneficiary status remains in force. Surjit cannot change or remove Rajbir as the beneficiary without her consent, so his current designation remains unaffected by the divorce under LLQP guidelines and Quebec civil code rules on irrevocable beneficiaries​​.
