What is the name of your state? What is the name of your state? Florida
My question is this. My mother had two life insurance policies taken out. Both policies had beneficiaries named in them. These policies had been in effect for over ten years. After my mom passed away my oldest brother and oldest sister found out they were not beneficiaries on either policy. The money is designated for other children in the family. To make a long story short, my brother and sister threw a hissy fit when they founf out they were not beneficiaries of either policy. They have said since they are not getting anything they are going to probate the policies and make sure the money all goes to charities and not any family members as mom wanted. I have spoken to mom's lawyer and done research and I have found out that since the policies are a private contract they cannot be probated. She had no will and no estate. Is the information I found and was told correct or can my siblings actually probate the policies and "force" some money to come their way???
