What is the name of your state? CA
My brother just recently past away, a change to his life insurance through his employer and 401k were done. On the 401k my two sons were named beneficiaries, a month before my brother passed a third person was added, however the changes to my brothers 401k were not received by his employer unitl after he passed, it was signed but not dated. My brother past away in the same town that he lived and worked in. I know it does not take a month for mail to go an address in the same city. Is this a legal binding change even though it was not dated? My family and I are unsure wether my brother truly signed it, or if this third person signed it (this person had just moved in with my brother). My parents are next of kin, and the 401k department will not release the forms so that we may verify signatures.
On the life insurance again my two boys were named beneficiaries, but a month prior to his passing they were dropped and the third person was named sole beneficiary. See my brother was sick the entire month of February and part of March before passing away in the hospital, and the changes again were not received by his employer again until after his passing, but is signed and date 02-05-02. Again we do not know if it is his signature or not.
Please help with advice, I don't know what else to do.
