What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
My ex-husband passed away abaout 3 months ago. We have a son together who is 14. My ex remarried about a year ago. Ex had his father as beneficiary, well his dad passed away about 2 years ago. We thought that my son was the contingant beneficiary, but the insurance company is saying that there was NO contingent. Not my son or ex's spouse. I have not been able to see the policy. Who has the rights to the life insurance? Would it go to an estate to be divided or what? Or do one or the other have preference? Thanx for all responses
