What is the name of your state? What is the name of your state? Texas
My existing 401K was started when I worked in California and was previously married. When I divorced my ex-husband, I removed him as my beneficiary and placed my account under my 2 children.
Now that I'm remarried and moved to Texas, I never made any changes to my 401K beneficiary. I would like to leave it that way and I'm wondering if this will hold up in court if anything happens to me.
I have also opened a new 401K with my current employer but the account is with the same investment firm - so as far as their records are concerned, the beneficiaries are still my kids. Are my children protected? My husband does not have any children of his own and he has his own 401K.
How can I make sure that my husband has no grounds to
contest this when I die?
Thank you.
