My deceased father was listed as my now deceased mother's beneficiary
Full Question:
My father passed away over a year ago, and my mother in the past month. She still had him listed as the beneficiary on her policy. Does the insurance company have to accept an affidavit of heirship (it is only a 30,000 dollar policy) or can my brother and I be forced into probate court. There is no other real property to be divided.

Answer:
Some insurance companies will accept an heirship affidavit or other affidavit and not require that an estate be opened. Others may require that an estate be opened. You should contact them for their procedures.
