What is the name of your state? nh
My father passed away in August and left me as beneficiary to a substantial 401k...well, he apparently did not know the law or anything about having to have his wife sign a waiver in order for me to receive it and it is now being handed over to her.
My question is, is she still entitled to it even though the entire 401k was earned outside of the marriage? They were only married 18 months and my father had retired before he even met her...
