Not unless your Father split it up. If he has you listed, the money will go to you. Be sure to remember, any debts, funeral costs etc. will still need to be paid even if your Father passed away. * Death benefits from life insurance belong solely to the named beneficiary. The benefits are not subject to probate procedure nor can they be attached by creditors for debts belonging to the deceased. Surviving family members are not responsible for any debts of the deceased unless they have accepted that responsibility in a written contract or are a joint holder of the debt. The exception in some instances would be a surviving spouse when the couple resided in a community property state at the time of death.

If I'm the beneficiary of life insurance policies of my brother and who named me as beneficiary prior to his marriage and during his marriage do I still have legal rights to this life insurance?

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.
