You a number of remedies or funds which you may recover money. They include the administrator's/probate bond, the lawyer, your sister, property held by either the law your or your sister.

Causes of action for fraud, misrepresentation, negligence on the part of the insurance company and not ascertaining the correct beneficiary, or paying the money to the wrong person and not the beneficiary, in failing to verify your disclaimer of an interest in the insurance, or an interest in the estate.

All of these are only guesses, because the paper work in a complete rendition of the facts are going to determine your claims, and the person or persons against whom they may be brought. Without looking at the documents, everything is only a guess. 713-629-1111, R. Gary Stephens
