Unless the ex husband changed the beneficiary to someone else, then the insurance money goes to her. It is not really an issue of relationship, but rather the person named is the one who gets it.
In Texas, the decree of divorce voids a beneficiary designation in favor of the insured's ex-spouse, unless the decree provides otherwise. On the other hand the ex-wife can probably maintain an insurance policy she owns on her ex-husband.
The ex wife is not entitled to the life insurance money unless she was listed as a beneficiary in the policy. Check with the insurance company to find out who the named beneficiary(ies) is and that is who gets the money contractually!
You must direct your question to the insurance company that holds the policy.
Insurance money is paid when you make a valid claim against the policy and can prove why the situation falls under the terms of the policy---whether it is Life Insurance, Car Insurance, Accident Insurance, Travel Insurance, etc. Call the Insurance Company for exact details.
When an insured purchases an insurance policy they pay the insurance company money for the insurance coverage. This money the insurance company collects is called insurance "premiums". The insurance company, using the law of large numbers, collects more money in premiums than it pays out in claims. The insurance also makes alot of its money by taking the money earned from premiums and then investing it. As we all know that Life insurance policy cash values are accessed through withdrawals and policy loans. However, withdrawals are taxable to the extent they exceed basis in the policy. Loans outstanding at policy lapse or surrender before the insured's death will cause immediate taxation to the extent of gain in the policy and hence benefits the company.
The life insurance policy has a maturing date that determines the time it takes for a policy to accumulate the amount of money essential for the policy. An unmatured life insurance policy is one that hasn't yet reached the end of its policy.
Send in your policy and ASK.
Not unless you are named on the policy.
Beneficiary
I have a whole life insurance policy, how long does it take to cancel it, also can I get money back from it.
Yes, you can out live your Insurance Policy. When the amount of the premium paid equals the face amount of the policy (the death benefit), the policy matures and you get all your money back.
The amount of money paid out will be listed in the policy itself. Read the contract to find this out.
It will state on the life insurance policy the name of the person or persons who are to receive the death benefit. Since a life insurance contract is a legal document, the insurance company is required to carry it out exactly as stated in the policy. The money may be argued over from that point, but the will cannot dictate where the money from a life insurance policy goes.
George Bailey has a life insurance policy worth $5,000.
