Legal Question in Family Law in California
My ex-husband and I have remained friends. We have been divorced since 2001. I am still his beneficiary. He remarried in October.
There are several life insurance policies, his retirement through work, his IRA, a couple investment funds, savings, checking, etc. Nothing in a trust.
If I remain his beneficiary, if something happens to him will it go to me or will it go to the new wife automatically?
Also, is my signature required in order to change beneficiaries?
