Legal Question in Family Law in California
Succession for bank accounts and insurance policies
My Stepdaughter was the sole heir to her Father's estate. He was deceased when she was 18. Her grandfather from her father's side has now died, and her father was named in both a savings account and a life insurance policy. As her father's sole heir, does she have the right to receive the funds from either or both of these financial elements. If she is not entitled to them should they become part of her grandfather's Trust, or should they go to her Uncle who is the only surviving child of the deceased.

Re: Succession for bank accounts and insurance policies
Please note it would be hard to comment without seeing the will or the trust document. If the grandfather died without a will then intestate sucession rule will apply.
