Legal Question in Family Law in Kentucky
My mother recently passed away 07/20009. I am her daughter and the executo of her estate and recently found a credit union account that she opened in 1972. At the time she opened the account, her and my father was still amrried and she named him the benificiary of this account. They were divorced in 1978 and my mother never remarried. Would he still be entitled to these funds after being divorced from my mother for 32 years? My mother does have a Will and stated specifi names as to who is to get what, but i assume she forgot about this account, and did not change the name of the benificiary. Please assist.

If the father is still alive and depending on the wording of the beneficiary statement, it may be legally impossible to change the fact that your father is beneficiary of this account. However, I would consult an attorney after you get the beneficiary statement.
