Beneficiary vs next of kin?
A relative who happens to be next-of-kin is not necessarily the same thing as a beneficiary. A Beneficiary is a person who receives something tangible. For example, a person named to receive something in a will is a beneficiary under such will. Similarly, a person named to receive the proceeds under an insurance proceeds is referred to as a beneficiary. Next of kin refers to the nearest blood relatives of a person who has died, including the surviving spouse. It may also be used to refer to anyone who would inherit part of the estate by the laws of descent and distribution. See related link below:

Your dad passed away and you received a vehicle of his how do you get the title to it you can not find the title?
Check with the DMV office to see what documents you need to do this. My guess is a death certificate for him and a will or some other item naming you as the beneficiary. They should have a copy of the title at the DMV. Check with the DMV office to see what documents you need to do this.

If a life insurance policy names a son as executor and primary beneficiary are the proceeds paid to him as an individual or as executor to the estate?
If this is a hypothetical question - that is the insured is alive - then you should get it CLARIFIED and properly name the beneficiary in the mannner the insured wants his estate handled. If not, please send a copy of the beneficiary page so we can see exactly what was written. The proceeds most likely would be paid to son as beneficiary.
What will happen if the beneficiary listed on a life insurance policy has the wrong middle name?
I am assuming that by your question, the intended named beneficiary was written on the application with the wrong middle name. Usually when filling out the application, the beneficiary is designated by Name as well as "relationship to insured" and SS #. Sometimes it even includes a D.O.B. and may also include an address. You can find the named beneficiary info as provided to the insurance co. by looking in the back of the policy at the copy of the original application. Here is why all that info is important. Suppose John Smith marries Jane C. Walter who becomes Jane C. Smith. Years later she dies or they become divorced and later John Smith re-marries and her name is also Jane but her middle initial is different! You can see where the Insurance company may have issues releasing the death benefit. By law, they have to pay Jane C. because she is still the named beneficiary unless John remembered to change it to his new wife!

Only if the father has passed away. As a possible beneficiary, the children are entitled to see the will, but until then there is no legal requirement for anyone to provide a copy.
Not sure how much money is at stake in 2005 it was in the region of R250000 deceased passed away in Dec 2008 and your niece was named as 100 percent beneficiary and husband of 10 months wants all?
How are YOU related to the decedent? Your posting is a bit confusing. Is it the decedent's niece who was named beneficiary or is it YOUR niece? Is it the decedent's husband who was married to the decedent for 10 months? If you are the decedent's husband, then you have automatic rights to a portion of the estate by virtue of your being a surviving spouse and if your wife did not name you as a beneficiary in the will, then you need to take a copy of the will to a probate attorney to have it evaluated to see if you have strong enough legal grounds to contest the will or have other avenues to claim your statutory share of her estate. Was the will done before she married you?
How can i obtain a copy of a dead person's will as i am a beneficiary of the estate?
How do you know that you are the beneficiary if you do not have a copy of the Will! Wills are usually lodged with solicitors or with the executor(s) of the Will. The executors must have the original Will document and are responsible for putting the Will/Estate through probate. At this point the Will becomes a public record (that anyone can see) and the executors are then supposed to divide up the estate as specified by the will, ensuring the beneficiaries get their legacies. I no will can be found, then you countries "intestate" rules will apply regarding beneficiaries of the estate.
