Why list the Probate & Family Court on an insurance site?
We often assist clients through major life events. Several of those events occur in the Probate & Family Court:
- Divorce: Courts routinely include requirements to secure future financial obligations, such as child support and alimony, with life insurance. Ensuring the policy is structured correctly (with accurate ownership, beneficiary designations, appropriate face amounts, and the correct duration) will save time and money and reduce the chances of a policy being challenged or found non-compliant.
- Death: Whether or not the deceased prepared a will, the probate court is often involved in confirming the personal representative of the estate and settling any disputes around the distribution of assets and business interests.
