Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa
Life Insurance
Recently my step-father died. My mother found out he had never changed 2 of his life insurance policies from a previous marriage which ended 15 years ago. My mother and him were married for 9 years. Does she have any legal recourse for claim on the policies?

It sounds like the previous wife is the beneficiary unless he left a will, but even then you've got a long uphill battle to get your hands on the money. Maybe he intended for the money to go to the previous spouse.
