Common phrases include 'als Begünstigter eingetragen werden' (to be registered as a beneficiary), 'als Begünstigter benannt werden' (to be named as a beneficiary), and 'jemanden als Begünstigten benennen' (to name someone as a beneficiary). These are often followed by details of the insurance policy, arrangement, or legal disposition that provides the benefit.
