Just curious, my director is at conference and I had a funny question asked to me that I don't know.

If you have recruited others and are getting team bonuses each month and then you die, can the team bonuses be inheritable by your family?

Does anyone know?:confused:
 
I would think that any outstanding bonuses for that month would go into your account or anything that was owed to you before you died it would be received by your family.

Other than that, I don't think so because we are independent contrators and if you are no longer alive and working then your downline is lost.
 
Your dowline will be transferred to another director, and any outstanding money owed to you will go to your estate, or account if you have direct deposit.

The downline would be then under your director.

That is what I meant! I am so glad Beth is here to fix my misunderstandings! I am going to be confusing a lot of people while Beth is at conference!
