What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TN
Does anyone know how ins. co's look at life insurance policies regarding minor benes? As part of a divorce decree, my son was ordered to be named as bene for a specific dollar amount until he reached the age of majority. He is now 20 and a full time college student. I wondered if life ins. was similar to health ins.- considered a minor as long as he is a "dependent" full time student under 21.
Provided that doesn't apply, would the ex spouse have had to designate a new bene after our son turned 18 in order to keep him from receiving the benefit? Would the ins. co disclose the bene info to my son, considering he is next of kin (ex spouse suddenly passed away last weekend)? Probate has not been opened yet, long story (I posted that on the appropriate board)
Would the ex-spouse have to rename a new bene after our son turned 18? I don't know if he changed it or not, and hopefully when my son calls tomorrow, the insurance company will tell him who the listed bene is.....
The policy is with Met Life.
thanks
