Best Answer

The money is left to the beneficiary as an individual. The individual can opt to "comingle" the funds, in which case the spouse has rights. If they put it aside into their own bank account--one without the spouse as a co-owner--then the funds belong to them alone. There is no right or wrong choice, except for the spouse to insist.
