I believe my sister was gently coerced into changing her life insurance beneficiary from me - to handle her burial expenses - to her boyfriend. I do not think the insurance company will give me the date it happened, but it was within the last 5 months. Can I contest this?

Death...where everyone crawls out from under the bushes and woodwork...Share...Share.......SHARE!!!! You only live once so be a good person while you are here. Would you want people doing this if you were to die tomorrow? Soemhow a lot of Amreica has lost its family values....I think maybe greed ate them up.

Another way to look at it:
What if YOU were the sole beneficiary? No one else was named...only you.
What would you feel the right thing to do with the money would be then?
And...what would you do?
sister - there is probably nothing you can do. Why don't you talk to her and see if you can find out more. Also, if they break up, you definitely need to have her change it back (if in fact, she changed it).

Sister, first I am so very very sorry...I'm assuming your sister has passed away right? Yes, definately contest this immediately! I dont' know if it will do any good, but it will certainly slow down the payment...also is he willing to assume repsonsiblity for her expenses? I'd hope so...how long have they been together? how long had she had this policy?

Oh I am sorry...I didn't relize she may have passed..If so my heart goes out to you and your loved ones....I hope if you don't get far with contesting it that the boyfriend used it to pay for a proper burial...Again..I am sorry.

Now that I think about it..and read your two posts, and her full screen name....yes, she may have.
Then you will have to contest this. And sorry to be kind of blunt, but depending on how close the two dates are (date of change / date she passed away), you might have a real good argument for diminished capacity.
