boyfriend as beneficiary on the life insurance
Does anyone know for sure if that’s even possible?
Answer:
I cannot tell you for sure, as this could be company or state specific, but I can tell you that I did not have to put my husband’s or my children’s (who are my contingent beneficiaries) SS # on mine on my work policies or on any others for that matter.
I will say though, that your girlfriends children (I believe I’m correct on this), could certainly dispute this in the event of her death, as could your children (if you have any), should you pass and she is beneficiary, without you two being legally married. It is my understanding that most states would recognize those children as first line heirs. You might want to check that out with an attorney, and a will with it laid out, such as, ‘I intentionally did not have my children as primary beneficaries, and instead chose ‘insert name here’.
