Life Insurance overpayment

[ameoba]

What is the name of your state? Kansas (currently)

When my father died last year my brother took care of all the details since I am Military and was overseas.

I recently recieved a notice from the insurance company telling me that they had mistakenly given me money that was supposed to go to my brother. They sent him the money and are now asking me for it back. It was their mistake.

Am I still liable to come up with this money?

"Am I still liable to come up with this money?"
*** If they sent you money that was not yours, yes, you have to return it.
I am curious though.... if this were reversed and you found out that you sent money to them by mistake, you would certainly expect, and demand, a refund, wouldn't you??? Why do you think that they should be treated any differently??
