Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Utah
269257 results for My husband passed away 3 weeks ago and had life insurance provided in his employment benefit package. I signed for the money to be sent to the mortuary for funeral costs. Now we just found out he had his mom named as the beneficiary. Can she come after me for the 10,000.00 we used for the funeral even though she was there at the mortuary. And should the insurance company have released it without her consent in the first place? in United States

This is the first time I have heard of an insurance company paying benefits to someone other than the insured. His mom could come after you for the money, but you would have a cause of action against the insurance company--they are supposed to pay the named beneficiary unless the named beneficiary assigns their interest to someone else.
