Re: Life Ins. Beneficiary
In a situation where the deceased spouse has named someone else as a beneficiary under his or her life insurance policy other than the surviving spouse, the answer is, no, the surviving spouse would have no claim to such life insurance proceeds (if this is the question which you meant to ask).
