incident

incident
Something dependent upon, appertaining or subordinate to, or accompanying something else of greater or principal importance, something arising or resulting from something else of greater or principal importance. Mola v. Reiley, 100 N.J.Super. 343, 241 A.2d 861, 864.
Used both substantively and adjectively of a thing which, either usually or naturally and inseparably, depends upon, appertains to, or follows another that is more worthy. Used as a noun, it denotes anything which inseparably belongs to, or is connected with, or inherent in, another thing, called the "principal". Also, less strictly, it denotes anything which is usually connected with another, or connected for some purposes, though not inseparably. Thus, the right of alienation is incident to an estate in fee-simple, though separable in equity
@ incident of ownership
An element of ownership or degree of control over a life insurance policy. The retention by an insured of an incident of ownership in a life insurance policy will cause the policy proceeds to be included in the insured's gross estate upon death. I.R.C. No. 2042(2).
In estate taxation, if decedent retains control or right in property, as for example the right to change beneficiary of insurance policy, the property falls into his gross estate for estate tax purposes. In re Lumpkin's Estate, C.A.Tex., 474 F.2d 1092
