My ex-husband just passed away and I am a beneficiary on the life insurance policy. The insurance co. said Pennsylvania passed a law that a former spouse shall become ineffective upon devorce unless addressed in the devorce decree. The policy was taken out and I was named beneficiary before we got married. We were not Informed of this when we took out the policy or after. I think the law was passed after the policy was taken out. I had planed to use the policy for payment on the funeral and headstone. The funeral director held the policy as collateral for payment. My questions are: can the insurance company stick me with the bill after telling the funeral director that the policy was in good standing? Also my son being the contingent on the policy but only eleven years of age is not able to recieve any money untill I would go to court and file to be legal guardian of My own son which has lived with me from the day he was born. Are they miss leading me in anyway or are they within there legal rights?
