無 由於九二一地震的發生，使政府及父母不得不思考未成年人監護制度本質上之問題。本文試以未成年人監護制度規範上之不足為遠因，並說明近代信託與監護之發展，顯現出信託之重要性。對於中產階級者而言，「保險信託」則是避免監護人不利益於受監護人之良好替代性方案。 本文主要研究我國保險金信託之法律問題，先論述信託之法律關係，次以美國人壽保險信託模式剖析保險信託制度上之本質。由於法律技術之規範及信託相關課稅規範之不同，使得我國保險金信託與美國保險信託，大異其趣。現行保險金信託制度上並非不可行，僅係制度上可能產生如下問題： 1.保險契約當事人須放棄受益人變更權？ 2.信託受益人先於被保險人死亡。 3.監護人終止信託契約。 4.受託人違反職責。 5.若受託人為保險受益人，是否須具備保險利益？ 本文著重於對上述五項問題加以討論；最後，對現行保險金信託作評析並提出建議。 關鍵字：未成年人監護、信託財產、不可撤銷人壽保險信託、保險信託、他益信託 === After the happening of the 921 earthquake, the government and parents of the survived minors were forced to consider the problem of minor guardianship system.
