Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: pension

The pension is governed by the beneficiary you husband named, although naming a spouse may be

required. You should contact the employer and ask for information as to who the beneficiary is.

If you are the beneficiary you will need a certified copy of the death certificate, which the undertake can provide, and proof of your marriage, a certified copy of your marriage certificate and proof of who you are.

You may also be entitled to widows Social Security benefits. You should go to the local Social Security office and ask. You will also need his social security number, which may be on his death certificate.

Call me if you like.

Re: pension

The answer to that question is going to take some investigating and after that some lawyer's advice. This sounds like it certainly is worth pursuing. You should get all information that you can possibly find out, then contact the people who run your deceased ex-husband's pension plan and see what they have to say. If you can't get them to pay out to you, then contact an attorney reasonably near you who handles a lot of divorces (that attorney should also know a bit about pensions, because lots of divorces involve pensions).

If you would like, give me a call; I am in northern New Jersey. I will be happy to discuss this with you; the telephone consultation will be free.
