[WSBAPT] life insurance beneficiary

[Jenna Brozik]

Hello list mates,

My client has a son who is a minor.  Her ex husband, the father, recently
died.  The father had a life insurance policy and the son was the
beneficiary.  The insurance will not release the funds to the son because
he is a minor.  They will not release the funds to the mother either.  The
insurance company says that she must be the legal guardian.  
The ex-husband did not have a will.  Is there a way of getting around this
without going through a guardianship proceeding?



Thanks,
