What if a spouse dies and you may be a beneficiary to their 401k but you divorced 10 years ago are you still eligble?
IF you are still the beneficiary on file for your ex-spouse then you are legally entitled to that money. If there was an updated beneficiary that lists other people as the beneficiary then you are not. On caveat is if you are listed as the beneficiary and the ex-spouse has a will in place that leaves the account to someone else, then you are not entitled.

Does your spouse have to be your beneficiary for long term disability?
Since IRA accounts are not governed by ERISA law as are 401(k) plans and other qualified retirement plans (such as 403(b) and others), the spouse is not required to be the default beneficiary. For those plans governed by ERISA, a spouse must either be the beneficiary of the plan or must have authorized any other beneficiary designation. IRAs (both traditional and Roth IRAs) do not have this restriction: you can name anyone you wish as the beneficiary of your IRA account.

Life insurance policies are extremely flexible. For instance if you have a policy on someone there can also be added to this policy a rider to provide term life insurance to cover the spouse and children if desired. Putting this all on one policy saves some money by having only one policy fee instead of several. The term riders would have a designated beneficiary just like the primary policy on the other spouse. Usually they would be each other but they don't have to be.

Can a life insurance agent sell insurance to his spouse?
In general he can. The fact that they are married does not, in itself, prevent the transaction. The agent can also be named as the beneficiary.

It is important, though, that the insured spouse change the beneficiary in the event of divorce, unless he/she wishes the ex to nonetheless get the proceeds. This is because in general, an insurable interest must exist only at the inception of the policy.
