Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in North Carolina
Beneficiaries and Last Will and Testiments
My mother had two life insurance policies ($1500 and $500) that she had taken out in the early 1970s. She name myself and my sister as beneficiaries. Times and people change and things happen in families that changes a person mind. My mother had a Will drawn up much later and name only me as the sole beneficiary, POA and Executor of the Estate. Does that Will override any beneficiaries name on previous insurance policies or does the insurance company still have to abide by the beneficiaries originally name on the policy?

Will does not override named beneficiaries of insurance policies.
