[WSBAPT] CA life insurance & 401k

[Mary Stone]

I have a friend whose 48 Y/O brother died unexpectedly on Christmas Eve, a
resident of California. He was divorced with two children - one adult and
one minor.  The friend says that her brother has life insurance and a 401k
and it still names the ex-wife as the beneficiary.  Does that designation
lapse after the divorce under CA or federal law?

 

Thank you.
