hi! my husband died and thinking it was his daughter, me and the aunt on the beneficiary. find out it wasn't me or his daughter. it was just the aunt. my husband was ill for how many years and his easy to brain wash. is it possible to contest this since the insurance is through work? i didn't sign any waiver form. I know the beneficiary was change many times due to the aunt drives him to his work when i'm not around. my husband is ill and he is not in the right mine. i don't think he would do this for not putting his daughter at least.
Also, is there a way that i can collect my funeral expenses to the person who got recieve the money/beneficiary?

YES and NO. You can contest this all you want, but you will probably be wasting your money. You cannot force the beneficiary to pay the funeral expenses with the life insurance (or any other) money.
How would you go about proving that your husband was not of sound mind? If he was gainfully employed, not undergoing any mental health care or counseling, and apparently functioning normally in society, it will be difficult, at best, to demonstrate to a court that he was not capable of making his own decision as to whom he chose to leave his life insurance money.
If you had evidence of duress or coercion, that would be a different matter -- simply being given a ride to work by his aunt doesn't mean she used that time to "brainwash" him or compel him to do something in her favor.
Situations such as this are not uncommon. They are simply unfortunate.

I have to agree with MaxHerr. Just because his aunt drives him to work doesn't automatically mean she has brainwashed him and that he was not in his sound mind. Your assertions are rather weak.
If you are worried about the funeral expenses and if you really cannot pay them on your own, the best option is to ask his aunt nicely is she'd take care of what needs to be paid since she got all the money. After all, she can do with the money whatever she pleases.

Feel sorry to you. I hope you could talk with your aunt regarding this issue.
I would like to ask, does your aunt is single, I mean if she doesn't have any children of her own?
If yes, I think you should talk about these insurance for you are the immediate family . She is also a family so she must have a little concern to you and your mother.

I'm so sorry for your loss but I think there's no point in raising this to those who are involved and take back your funeral expenses. It's hard to prove that he's not in his right mind when he signed the beneficiary. You just get unlucky sometimes and I just hope the aunt is kind of enough to share even if she's not legally obliged to do so.

That's quite true..it would be hard to prove that he wasn't in his right frame of mind. Had you been anywhere around while he was signing the beneficiary, things would have been a lot different.
