If that's what the divorce decree says, then yes. A divorce decree can contain any provisions that aren't actually illegal.

Beyond that, there must exist an "insurable interest" in order for one to insure the life of another. This can be based upon "love and affection" (which in this case probably does not exist), or it can be based upon some financial relationship. Absent a demonstrable insurable interest, the insurer will not issue a policy.

Who can own a life insurance policy on you?

A husband can buy a life insurance for his wife. Husband becomes the proposer and he is also the beneficiary in case of any unfortunate death of wife. Similarly a working wife can also propose a policy for her husband. Father or mother can take out a life insurance policy for their children. Children cannot take out life insurance policy on their parents name as there is no insurable interest for them to do so. Almost anyone with relationship interest can be the owner of someone else's life insurance policy. The further removed the proposed owner is form the insured, the harder it will be to explain ownership. Note that corporations can also be the owner of policies.


Could a wife contest her husband life insurance benefits claim because she not name the beneficiary?

If there was a Will made by the husband..and in that Will the husband left out the wife..then this matter would stay as is..and the wife will have to find other avenues to convince a judge by contesting the Will.If no Will is present,then this matter is dealt under the intestacy rules,and usually a probate,and the wife will have to prove her right to the Court. Life insurance alongwith all other estate matters are usually dealt within the Will in question..unless specific instructions in the Will have been left ,seperating the Life Insurance benefits from the Will. Take advice from a local lawyer.


Can husband collect life insurance if wife dies unexpectedly?

If the husband was the named beneficiary of the policy, if the policy was in force at the time of death, and if the cause of death was not excluded by the policy, the general answer is "Yes". If the beneficiary was the estate of the wife, the proceeds are paid to the estate. Then, if the husband was a beneficiary of the estate (either by virtue of a Will naming him as beneficiary, or if no Will, through the laws of intestate succession), he may be entitled to all or a part of the insurance proceeds. If the beneficiary of the life insurance policy was someone other than the husband as of the time of the wife's death, proceeds are payable to that person.

How can you buy life insurance for your brother who can not afford it if he has children who would need this insurance to cover their expenses?

As you are a relative and not his wife, you would not have what they call an 'insurable interest' - such as a wife/husband, mother/father would. The solution would be to have him take out the insurance and you pay the premiums for him. == ==
