My mother past away december of 1999. she held a life insurance policy for over 10 years listing me and my children as beneficiaries and had never had any changes since she took it out. she was terminally ill and on life support the last week. after her death i found out that her insurance policy naming beneficiary was changed 3 days before her death leaving the money to her sister. the forms requesting the change were requested approx 3 weeks earlier and were sent to her sisters address so no one knew of the changes until after her death. the signature looks like it could or could not be my mothers.
we suspect that either my aunt forged the signature or had my mother sign it , not knowing what she was signing at the time due to the heavy medications she was on.
is there any recourse or statute of limitations. or is there any law regarding a time frame for changes such as this not being valid ?
