Designating trustee for a child who is beneficiary on my life insurance?

It may be a good idea to contact the company that manages your life insurance policy. There may be required paperwork that would allow you to appoint your ex-wife as the trustee of the policy for your son. Each company has its own rules and regulations, thus contacting them directly would be your best source for information.

Call the Insurance Company and ask them how they want it done. If you cannot get a hold of them get a beneficiary designation sheet and add her as "name ex-wife as trustee for the benefit of son" This will more than likely upset someone and they will call you and tell you how they want it done.

Every thing that I am saying here is my opinion and it is not based on any particular case. My response is just unsupported general information. However, if you find it helpful, very helpful or the best answer please let let the world know by saying so. If it helps you to resolve an issue that's great but do not rely on it as legal advice because it is not based on the facts in your case and it is not based on any specific legal research.
