not named on the policy/? My step-dad passed away a few weeks ago and my mom had taken care of him for a year and a half. They were married for 14 years. He worked for GM for 33 years and had a policy from them as well as a small private policy he took out last year. He was previously married for about 20 years and had two kids but they were adults when my mom and him got together. He got shafted in the divorce and agreed to pay alimony of $200 per week for life. So now my mom gets a call from the insurance company stating it is pending because someone else is trying to claim. My mom is named on all policies as 100% beneficiary. The ex is greedy...does she have any rights to this money????? I really hope the insurance company will see that she doesn't.
