If you were on his life insurance policy and he was military, they will be contacting you. No worries. You would simply contact the SGLI claims department and file a claim, or at the least find out who is in fact a beneficiary. Try this link for a link to VA Affairs and a phone number. They will point you in the right direction. http://www.military.com/Finance/content/0,15356,165322,00.html
No, not by any means. People took sides. There were divided loyalties, brother fought brother, father fought son. The armies moved from place to place, recruiting and encouraging the populous. But the size of the forces involved is remarkably small, battles are over & done with in a day, there are no long campaigns. Which therefore suggests that while the military were doing what they did everyone else was just getting on with day to day life.
Orren is Charley's younger brother in Soldiers Heart
My brother just started going there and he got a scholarship. I'm pretty sure that it is about 25,000 dollars a year without a scholarship. You have to have pretty good grades to get in and be involved in activities. You have to show leadership skills. I know that this isn't much but I hope it helps.
Yes, if they choose, but they cannot be drafted. The Selective Service Law does provide a provision for "Sole Durviving Son or Brother" it means that if a family has alreadry lost a son in military service, every effort will be made to protect the remaining family members.
You deny responsibility for something you did, and say that your brother is responsible for that thing that he actually isn't responsible for.
You will receive the death benefit unless your brother has changed the beneficiary. Regardless of marriage, divorce, life changes, etc; unless the insured contacts their insurance company and changes their beneficiary, the money will go to the specified beneficiary; FYI- your brother would not be required to notify you as current (or ex) beneficiary if he changed the policy. Also, many life insurance policies have a primary and a successor beneficiary; the successor is the person who would receive the benefit if something were to happen to both the insured and the primary beneficiary.
If you were a beneficiary under a life insurance policy, you would be notified by the company. If you weren't but your brother was, you have no right to know.
Questions that must be considered: (1) Who died first, your father, or your brother? If they both died simultaneously then your brothers's insurance policy wouuld go to your father's estate UNLESS a secondary beneficiary had been named. (2) Who are the named beneficiaries on your brother's insurance policy? It actually makes no difference what their marriage status was, it is the NAMING of a beneficiary that counts, NOT their family status. If no other beneficiary of the policy was named you may have to hope that your father's will included you.
If the estate is listed as the beneficiary of the policy, the executor is bound to follow the wishes of the deceased, in which case the proceeds would go to the "residuary legatee" if no other claim is made on it in the will. If the insurance policy names your brother's wife as the beneficiary, then it goes directly to her and is not part of the estate; in fact, if the beneficiary is not the estate, it should go directly to the beneficiary in any event.
It depends on the situation, the beneficiary set up, if he's dead or not, and what kind of life insurance you had. If he died and left the money to someone else, you don't have a claim on it at all.
yes. that would make u the sole beneficiary.
You will need to contact the life insurance company that held the policy. However, be aware due to US Privacy Laws you may not be entitled to receive any information. If proof of death has been shown of the insured (your father in this case) only the beneficiary (s) will be entitled to receive any information. That will depend on whether you were a beneficiary or not.
If the brother was secondary or "contingent" beneficiary and listed as 100% then all the money will go to him, so he would have to help arrange it. If he is a partial beneficiary then he will still get his percentage, but the mothers percentage will go to her estate, or whoever inherited her estate. If this creates a problem, as his wife you might have a chance to go to court and replace the mother as the beneficiary, especially if there was a will stating that he wanted everything to go to you. But this just depends on the state laws usually. But most likely you will have to go through the brother as you have no legal rights to the money since you where not listed on the contract.
no
Can you collect pension money after my brother commited suicide
NO. Your question is a bit confusing. First you state their is no beneficiary but then indicate the parents may be the beneficiary. Normally life insurance proceeds do not go through an heirs probate process. Life insurance goes directly to the designated beneficiary outside of any probate process unless no one has been designated or the designated beneficiaries are themselves deceased. If there is no designated beneficiary at all, the life insurance will default to the estate of the deceased for probate and apportionment to the heirs. If there are 2 equal 50 percent designated beneficiaries and one rejects their 50 percent portion, that 50 percent will be assigned to the estate of the deceased for probate and then be apportioned to the heirs of the deceased. An heir can assign his or her inheritance to another heir if they so choose. If the heirs reject the proceeds of the life insurance disbursed by the estate and then also decline to assign it to another heir, then those proceeds will default to the government.
I'm not totally sure what you are asking but it sounds like the child died. If the child died and the child was insured, the money will go to the beneficiary listed on the policy. If your brother surrendered parental rights, this child is no longer his, so I seriously doubt he has any claim whatsoever.
