Legendary Pop singer and drummer KAREN CARPENTER authentic hand-signed autograph OCCIDENTAL LIFE Beneficiary Designation form dated May 9, 1972, naming Karen as the owner and primary beneficiary in the event of Richard's death! 
 
As we now know, tragically, Karen would die from heart failure just 8 short years later due to complications from anorexia nervosa on February 4, 1983 at the age of 32.
 
The remarkable OCCIDENTAL LIFE Insurance Beneficiary Designation form names Karen as "Owner" and primary beneficiary of a life insurance policy on the life of her brother, Richard!
 
The contingent beneficiary would be, if Karen predeceased Richard, either a testamentary trust established by her will, (or her estate if she died without a will). 
 
"Under the Last Will and Testament of Karen A. Carpenter...should the said Karen A. Carpenter die" and goes on to name Richard Carpenter as the beneficiary.
 
One of the most remarkable, and uniquely personal Carpenters documents to ever come to market.
