my ex husband died last month and did not chang me as benificary. we have been divorced since 05, i have one child from him and he had two other children, who get the money and do you have to pay tax on it? We were married for 24 years. When I was divorced I had it in my papers that his oldest son oversee his life insurance in the name of my daughter who at the time was under 18.
Optional Information: State/Country relating to question: Texas Already Tried: I have done nothing. His company is sending me a packet of the benifits payable
