What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?Kansas. I've been married for two years. We both work for the same company and we both have portions of our pay going towards a 401K Plan. Upon our marriage, I made him my primary beneficiary on my 401K. Prior to our marriage, my husband had his two daughters as his 401K beneficiaries. It is my understanding that the wife is the beneficiary, unless she signs a waiver. I recently found out that he never changed his beneficiary information so that I would be the beneficiary to his 401K. He said it was an oversight on his part and that he would change it. We can make changes to our 401K thru a website. He doesn't know that I can access this information and I can see that he still hasn't made the change. So, if he were to expire, who would get his 401K, his daughters or me?
