What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Wyoming
My husband was recently killed in a car accident. We have been married for only 6 years. After he divorced his ex-wife ten years ago, he changed his Employers Life Insurance and Retirement beneficiary to his dad's name because he did not want his ex-wife to benefit from his death. Since then he never changed it into mine because he dad was failing in health and he knew that his dad would not be around much longer and he procrastinated changing it. His excuse was that he would "get to it" someday.
His father is refusing to do the "right thing" and assign them over to me, claiming that he needs this money for "peace of mind", however his seven sisters and brother have said that this is not what my husband would've wanted and that the money should come to me. My husband loved me very much and they knew that is what he would've wanted to do since I am left with nothing. There was no will so his estate is intestate and will be going through probate. Is there any chance that this can be contested with the insurance and retirement companies? He never made the change after our marriage because he "never got around to it".What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
