No will but had beneficiary on life insurance
My husband's dad passed away. He didn't have a will but did have a life insurance policy. He left 100% of the life insurance to his daughter. Do we have any rights to that money or his property since there was no will?

Re: No will but had beneficiary on life insurance
The proceeds from the life insurance pass by the beneficiary designation and not through the probate process. Therefore they will pass to your husband's father's daughter.
If he had other property your husband may have a right to it.
