Q: Somehow my dad's ex girl friend was a beneficiary on his bank account and took 117000 out can I contest the beneficiary
they haven't been together in over 7 years and they only dated for 4. I can't even believe he had her on the account in the first place. Also, it was in a money market account not his checking shouldn't the money market account have a different beneficiary
A: You could challenge the beneficiary designation. It may be difficult though and would heavily depend on the facts of your situation. You should consult a probate litigation attorney.
A:
I am so sorry for your loss.
I also believe it would be helpful to check with a litigation attorney, this type of situation is very difficult to litigate.
A: Ryan and Ilene are spot on. Reach out to a professional.
