Challenge KY inheritence law?

It seems you keep missing this:

No...without written instructions (ie: a will or a trust) the intestacy laws apply.

Once upon a time (about 30 years ago) a man and woman were getting divorced. The divorce was in the final stages and the man instructed his insurance company to change the beneficiary on his life insurance policy. The insurance agent drew up all of the paperwork for the change but before the man got to the office to sign it, he was killed in a car accident.

The insurance company made the decision to take the matter to court themselves to have a judge determine who got the life insurance (it was a large policy). The court ruled that the new beneficiary got the money, rather than the almost ex-wife.

My dad was the agent involved, so I have some pretty direct knowledge. I do not know how often something like that has happened...but I know it happened once.

If you read the whole thread (which you obviously didn't), I already replied to you. I was polite the first time, this time I won't be. I didn't miss it. I mentioned it right up front that I was aware of the law; however, I was asking what my chances were IF I CHALLENGED IT.

And that is why I asked what actions the advised had taken to change the account or beneficiary. So far the reply has been nothing. The change of beneficiaries is not going to happen based on the statements alone.
