My Friend Needs Your Help
My name is Sharon . I need your help.
I need an attorney but don't know what kind to go to. I had and have Durable Power of Attorney, we tried to change his benifitierys on his life insurance policy on Friday but the lady at his company that handles that blew me off told me we could do it on line but by the time we tried 6 times and found there was no way to save the changes the 800 number was from 9:30 AM to 6 pm Eastern time and it was 6:30 pm ESt then he passed away on the Sunday. They say since I didn't /we get it changed before he died that I can't change it now. My DPOA says before and after his death and states that I can add or delete or change benificuaries on insurance policies and we tried to change it before he died. It's not right.
It was set up for 40% to go to his son and 40% to go to his daughter and at that time I was listed as friend then it on one page showed me as spouse and friend, we married June 7th, 2012, for 20%.($10,000 to me) He wished to change it to me 100% as primary and change them to contingent. Can you help me?
