A devorced friend died and had three grown children. He had an insurance policy from work that originally listed his daughter as the beneficiary. His company changed insurance companies and a new beneficiary card should have been filled out. For some reason he neglected to re-submit a beneficiary card. The insurance company says their policy is to pay a policy that does not list a beneficiary to a spouse first and if there is no spouse it will go to the children. His brother is the executor of the estate and is out to get his percentage of this in the estate. He says this money has to go to the estate account and be divided up including him with a percentage. Is this legal? Can he cheat my friends children out of part of this insurance money?
