Yes, if the owner of the policy does not file a change of beneficiary the insurance will have to pay the proceeds to the person who is named on the policy.
Generally, yes. A person must be careful to change the name of the beneficiary on their life insurance after a divorce of death of the named beneficiary. You should consult with the attorney who represented the decedent in the divorce to determine the law in your state and whether the divorce decree extinguished the ex-spouse as the beneficiary.
No, in most cases you can name whoever you would like as your beneficiary. However, as part of some divorce proceedings a court will require that your ex-spouse remain a beneficiary as part of a alimony/palimony agreement.
The beneficiary is the person to receive the coverage amount when the person covered by the policy dies. In the first instance, the beneficiary is named by the applicant when application for the insurance policy is made. Unless the beneficiary designation is made irrevocable, the insured is free to change the beneficiary at any time until his/her death. Unless some provision of law or contract renders the designation of beneficiary irrevocable, the beneficiary does not have a right to remain as beneficiary and ordinarily cannot contest a subsequent change.

Yes, but not without your signature. If you had life insurance in force on you prior to your divorce and he was the owner and he wishes to continue paying and remain the benficiary then there is nothing you can do. If you have kids together then you both should have life insurance and name each other as beneficiaries for the benefit and welfare of the children until they are no longer minors. 4lfieguild
They were married twice, therefore divorced twice. On 2006 and in 2001.
auto insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, home insurance, vision insurance
They were part of the Confederacy.
You must keep the life insurance policy that was discussed in the divorce until your ex remarries. But there is nothing to keep you from buying a new policy and making your new wife ITS beneficiary. That has nothing to do with the divorce decree.
No, the inherited funds (beneficiary IRA) have to remain in inherited (beneficiary) form. So the account/funds can only be distributed out of the beneficary IRA as a distribution or transfer to another alike roth beneficiary account at another firm. However, the deceased account can be transferred into the surviving spouse Roth IRA (or transfer to a beneficiary IRA account). A non-spouse doesn't have this option- they can only transfer to their beneficiary IRA account that they opened.
Beneficiaries remain as named beneficiaries until a form is submitted to name someone else. Once that is done it becomes part of the legal contract and cannot be changed post mortem
That is what we call fraud!
