Thank you.Why don't you do as Moburkes suggested more than once - contact the ins. co.(s) & notify them of your ex-wife's death. Let them know you have a copy of the death certificate & would like to submit it to them so the beneficiaries (whoever they may be) can be paid the proceeds. When you send the death cert., you can include contact info for you so they can contact you if you and/or your son are benes on any policies.
I am sorry for the death of your ex-wife & son's mother.
I am willing to bet that your ex inlaws are doing nothing other than their duties as executors. I, too, have all of my daughter's funds protected until she is of age, in the event that anything happens to me. Certainly a way to separate those who truly wish to parent and care for a child from those who are interested in controlling her money.Into a trust. A trust that will be controlled by my ex-father inlaw until my
son turns 25yrs. of age. As my sons only legal guardian can I contest
these poliicies to keep them from going into this trust? My son is only
12yrs. old.
My ex wife will named her father as exec. and trustee of her estate. Which isYour not understanding at all. I stated that my ex father inlaw told me that my son and I were the 1st beneficiaries of 5 seperate policies, as did his attorney tell my attorney the very same thing.
You keep adding things. Now there is a trust?
In any event, as repeatedly stated here: talk to the insurance company (not anyone else). After you do that, let us know what the insurance company said.
Your absolutely right Mo. Thanks. I will be going to my attorney's office this week toI agree with SJ. There has GOT to be something missing. The trust would have to be set up before the mom died. The trust would be funded by the life insurance policies, and the trust would own the polices. The trust would also make specific references as to how any money in the trust would be spent. The executors of the estate cannot arbitrarily assign the life insurance policies to be paid to a trust. I don't care WHO their lawyer is, it just doesn't work that way. Also, in order to do all of this after their daughter has passed away, the insurance companies would have to be "in on it" too.
Where are you getting your information from? If this type of information is coming from your lawyer, you need a new one.
And, how do you KNOW that there are other papers unaccounted for?
What do you think that they could possiby DO with life insurance papers AFTER someone has died?
