Best Answer

An ex-wife remains as a "Named Beneficiary" until such time as her ex-husband authorizes the Insurance Company to remove her name as such. If the ex-husband re-marries, his new wife does not stand to benefit from insurance proceeds until he makes the change with the issuing company. A common mistake is for divorced couples to not change their beneficiaries and when a death occurs, the new spouse finds out that the ex gets all the insurance benefits leaving the new spouse with nothing.

Does a 2nd wife have a right to receive life insurance of several thousand a month until she dies but they divorced years before he died and she remarried before his death?

Maybe. Life insurance is a contract and if the beneficiary on the policy is listed as the 2nd wife, she is entitled to the money. Check the divorce decree, it may, depending on who drafted it and what state you are in, may have stated that any such designation as beneficiary is void. It may also have said in the divorce decree that maintaining her as beneficiary of an insurance policy was a condition of the divorce.

Who collects on death and dismemberment when ex husband has remarried?

Any life insurance policy has a "beneficiary" - the person who gets the money when the insured person dies. If your ex-husband is still your beneficiary, then he gets the money if you die. If you don't want your ex to get the dough, then you ought to change your insurance policy to name someone else - your new boyfriend, your kids, your parents, your best friend from elementary school - whoever you want to get the money when you cash in your chips. Everyone - married, divorced, living together, EVERYONE - should review their wills and life insurance policies at least every few years to make sure that they are still correct. And correct them if they are wrong.
