What is the name of your state? Minnesota
My mom died in October of this year. My dad had taken out a $60,000 life insurance policy for her through his workplace. Now that my mom is gone and my dad has the money, he has told both my brother and I that it is his money and that we are not entitled to it because he is the one that paid on it. The only money we will receive is if he chooses to give us money out of the goodness of our hearts. My mom, to the best of my knowledge, did not have a will, but I find it odd that my brother and I aren't entitled to at least a small portion of my mom's life insurance. Can anyone tell me if my dad is right or if he is wrong? I would really appreciate it.
