What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? VA
Hello experts... One year OR one-and-half years back, when my husband joined in one IT firm, he enrolled in AD&D insurance policy. He nominated his father as the beneficiary at that time because I was not married to him when he enrolled in policy. But very recently, I married to him in May-2011. Since, he married me in the month of May and expired in July, he never got a chance to update beneficiary name to me because no one can expect this kind of tragedy in life, that too with in two months after marriage.
So,legally, I am thinking, I should also be the beneficiary for his life insurance risk amount. If I produce marriage certificate and all legal documents needed, can insurance company consider me also a beneficiary and distribute amount to me also? I discussed with attorney's in my home country regarding this situation, and they confirmed me that my country's Life Insurance policy schemes will support me to consider as beneficiary because I am surviving spouse.
Please help me. I am in pain already with loss of my husband and now I need to have financial support.
