How to contesting a beneficiary change on a life insurance policy?
Question Details:
Contesting a beneficiary change on a life insurance policy for an end-stage liver failure patient. My mom recently passed away from end-stage liver failure. Her symptoms included (at times) being mentally incapacitated. She andmy stepdad were having issues prior to her health deteriorating and she had started the process for separation from him 5 months ago. Also, at this time, she changed the beneficiary on her life insurance policy from a joint listing of me, my brother, and my stepdad by removing my step-dad. Then shortly before she died she changed it again to only my stepdad.
I'm pretty sure that I answered your previous question about this a few days ago. I advised you to consult with a Probate Attorney who can ask you the necessary questions and see if there is enough evidence to contest the policy change. That is still my advise. You've done a good job of expressing your concern. The question now that needs to be answered is if you can prove that she was not competent or that she was corerced into changing the beneficiaries. Again, I wish you well.
