What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan
My husbands father recently passed away. They haven't had contact since his parents got divorced 18 years ago.
There were two life insurance policies that we have been made aware of since his death. On the first one his mom, the ex-wife, was named primary beneficiary. There is a second policy that named my husband and his brother as beneficiaries.
We recently received word on the first policy that his mom was a beneficiary on that she has been denied due to Michigan law. I haven't seen the paperwork yet but supposedly there is a very crooked uncle that is filing as heir of the estate.
The father had 18 years to change the beneficiary on these policies and he didn't. I like to think that it was his last ditch effort to take care of his family after a somewhat messy divorce. What do you think the chances are that they will be paid out to the primary beneficiaries listed? None of us can afford lawyers to help but I have the internet and lots of time on my hands to try it myself.
