Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
My husband and I were married after he retired. Before he retired, he had named his son the beneficiary of his 401(k). Since Texas is a community property state, am I entitled to the monies?
After getting married, we didn't sign a spouse's concent form to keep his son as beneficiary.

Any property that your husband acquired or accumulated prior to the marriage is his separate property. It belongs to him, not to you.
