What to do if beneficiary is deceased?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Edward L. Armstrong (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Edward L. Armstrong, P.C.
You didn't mention if the life insurance policy was kept in force (i.e., who paid the premiums or was it "paid up" or did the dividends pay? If you have the policy you need to contact the insurance company to see if there is an alternate beneficiary (other than the one who died). If there is none then the policy would go to your mother's estate but since she died in 2011 it's too late to open an estate in probate court (this has to be done within one year after death) you will have to hire a lawyer and have him/her file a determination of heirship action to ascertain who the heirs at law are. Once this is done the court will issue an order directing the insurance company to pay the proceeds to the heirs at law.

Does the child's father have rights over the dead wife’s inheritance?

Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
Someone, grandparent, a sibling of the mother, needs to petition the probate court immediately for guardianship of the child and her estate, as the house appears to be child's; as to any life insurance proceeds to the daughter, the court is going to impose a blocked account on the proceeds for the benefit if she is the beneficiary. This needs to be taken care of immediately, so as to preserve the child's estate, before the father moves in and tries to take control.
