Answer 2

You'd have to see the exact wording of the life insurance. Some life insurance policies (obtained at work), automatically revert to your wife when you marry. Contact the Teamsters.

Where I work, I can't name anyone as a primary beneficiary other than my wife on my life insurance.

Answer 3

The quick answer is you should have received the full amount. Potential problems arise if the policy was provided by an employer or union. Often, these policies will have a provision forbiding a married person to have a primary beneficiary other than their spouse without the spouse's written consent.

Answer 4

If you were the only named beneficiary then you are entitled to %100 percent of the benefit. The only way you wouldnt get all of it is if he changed the beneficiary or their is some other clause in the contract restricting benefits paid to ex-wives or whatever the situation is.

Answer 5

Yes, you do have to split the money even though you were named soul Ben. His wife could have taken you to court and gotten the whole policy Ben.and not given you a dime so be thankful for the portion you have received. when you marry whatever belongs to you spouse belongs to you. that includes insurance or depts. I am sorry for the lose of your friend. GOD BLESS.

Answer 6

Looks like the end of your question cut off, but you wouldn't have to split it with anyone if you were named the only beneficiary

Answer 7

was his life policy thru his employer? if so, you need to call his HR area. if you are the primary (and sole) beneficiary, you are entitled to 100%. if he named his wife as the contingent, she could only recieve if he died, then you died and then she's next.

you should collect 100%.

Answer 8

Heirs? No.
