My brother died suddenly. He had not signed his beneficiary designation form at work. I am the executor of his estate. I realize since he did not have children or a wife it will go to the estate and I suppose to split it with my mother and siblings after paying his creditors. However my mother walked out when he was three and didn't even make time to come when he was dying. So I am looking for any case law that recognizes the intended beneficiary. All other bank accounts, policies and previous employers designations was left to me. I would of been the intended beneficiary if he had turned in the form. He is buried in Tennessee and I paid for his funeral. So I think that is proven. If there is no case law is there a way to override the probate laws of Missouri?
Thanks
