Am I entitled to his pension and if not, what happens to it?

James E. Reed
Answered by attorney James E. Reed
Estate Planning lawyer at Vandervoort, Christ & Fisher, P.C.
If this is truly a pension, as opposed to a defined contribution type plan, you will need to look at his pension payment election. He could have elected a lifetime pension, which would have provided higher monthly payments, but payments would end upon his death, or he could have elected a joint and survivor type of pension payment, which would have provided smaller monthly payments, but payments in some amount (depending on the election) could have continued after his death.

Anyone can sue just about anyone. Is there any reason to think they would succeed? That is a tougher question, and the answer depends on facts you have not shared. When were the beneficiary designations made? What were the circumstances? Did your mother have capacity to make those designations when she did so? A Will probably would help your cause, just for purposes of illustrating intent.
