Siblings hired a lawyer demanding that I turn over mutual funds from deceased brother. Stating that he was under hospice care and named me as beneficary four days before he passed away. Do they have a case?

Are you the only beneficiary or your siblings are a part of it? if you are the sole beneficiary then they don't have high chances of wining the case. but as siblings they may file a case (which they did) challenging the beneficiary, as you are the only sibling who is to be benefited, and they have an equal right to it.

My father died and my uncle seems to think he is the beneficiary to his retirement. Which makes no sense since they didnt get along. If it is him can me and my brother fight it. We were both close to my dad. We also have my dads other siblings on our side, saying no way he would leave it to my uncle.
my friend intended to change his beneficary from his ex to his sister due to ugly circumstances with the ex...her stealing from him, abandonment among other things. the papers were never given back to the his secretary to initiate the change. can anything be done? (this is ex girlfriend not wife)

Is your friend deceased? If not, the change can still be made. Otherwise, his sister is out of luck. The secretary has nothing to do with it. It is not her responsibility to make and/or mail any changes. It also makes no difference if the beneficiary is an ex-girlfriend or ex-wife.

ABSOLUTELY! A power of attorney normally does not create a legal right to change beneficiaries. If the money has already been paid by the insurance company, you will have to sue the stepmother personally.

My father passed and was determined to be incapacitated by a physician on at least 2 occasions. His condition was known to all of his off springs and siblings, including this aunt. My aunt took my father to the company he retired from and had him to change his beneficiary from his ex-wife (my mother) and his children to name her. What can be done to contest this if possible?
