Legal Question in Legal Ethics in New York

You need to submit your claim to the life insurance company. If they want to challenge it, that is their right. The insurance company will then wait for a court order to figure out what to do. Most likely, if they have never seen their father, it is doubtful that they will win. You will need to be patient as it is best to let them waste their money on this fight. If they don't file a claim in court, the insurance company will release the money to you. However, if they do file a claim in court, you will need to hire an attorney to help you.

I'm not sure why this got filed under Legal Ethics and Professional Responsibility, it is more of a probate question.

Best of luck.
