Estate Planning lawyer at Elder Law Office of Mark Schaefer PC
If these are the only portions of your decree that pertain to the annuity, then yes, you do still have a claim. Ownership of the policy stayed with her, which includes the ability to change the beneficiary. If she did not choose to change the beneficiary designation, then it is still valid. Unless you somewhere agreed not to accept any benefits from that policy, you should be able to receive and keep the death benefit. If the insurance company receives any conflicting claims, they may decide to pay the proceeds into court, and let a judge decide. That would probably be done in SC, if that is where she died. You should file a claim and see how the insurance company responds.

My child wants to ask her dads gf to move out of her dads house to secure the property while her dad is in icu on deaths door. How can she do this

The child needs to obtain guardianship and conservatorship over her father if she wants to control his property.  I assume only the father's name is on the property? The girlfriend is at least a tenant and must be given 30 days notice to vacate.

It is part of your estate if you name the Estate as beneficiary of the account. Otherwise it will go to the named beneficiary.
