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.

Dad has died not divorced but living with a partner for 33 years who is next of kin?
If he is still married, it will be the spouse if still living, otherwise it would be a child or parent. 'Living with a partner' doesn't supercede that relationship as they are not relatives and the partner will have no legal standing unless there is a will that names them as beneficiary. He could have life insurance with the partner as a beneficiary. The best thing to do would be to consult a lawyer but I'd say his wife if he's married and after that immediate family (e.g. son or daughter)
Is a divorced spouse named in a Will responsible for splitting the inheritance with his or her ex spouse?
You seem to be referring to being a beneficiary in another person's Will. In that case it depends on the provisions in that person's Will. If they wrote the Will while you were married and left a gift to you and your spouse that gift must be shared upon the death of the testator unless the Will specifically made the gift to take effect only if you were still married or was changed by the testator after your divorce. A Will written by a testator while married will be made inoperative as your spouse automatically after a divorce even if you don't change it.
