Hi,
My friend passed away recently and this is about two insurance policies which h took before his marriage.
(i) In one policy, his mother is the nominee who is no more..now his father is still alive and asking for a share in that death benefit…I heard from one of my friend that the widow, and the two children of my friend being the 1st class legal heirs are the entitled members to get the benefit… Is this true? As he has filed a suit against my friend’s family, I would like to understand what stand the civil court would take and according to which law?
(ii) There is another policy in which my frend’s father himself is the nominee and he is not willing to share the benefit with other family members… so, If my friend’s wife files a suit claiming that she and her children are the only entitled members to get this benefit, will they get the complete benefit? or he being the nominee, will the benefit be shared with him? please clarify.
