Re: Dad died
Hello, this is a difficult one to answer without more facts. His wife may be entitled to something as marital property, even if not named as beneficiary, if your father lived in Wisconsin (but maybe not if in Florida). Also, if no second or contingent beneficiaries were named, then his estate could be entitled to some of the proceeds. Who receives from the estate depends on if there was a will or not. If not,his kids would be closer heirs than his brother. If you need an opinion you can rely on, you need to retain an attorney to give you some guidance. Best wishes, Mark J. Mahoney
