He's her ex. She should leave all that in the past behind her and focus on her future. She may not end up getting any money from that anyway. And then all that time she wasted.

Capping your happiness for a measly quarter a million is nutty. She does know he can change the beneficiary at any time right?

Too many people learn, do not plan your future based on an inheritance or insurance pay out.

On the other hand marrying someone because he has great medical insurance is not a great idea either.

From what I've heard, many men do remarry within a year or so. Mid-age, seniors, etc. The age doesn't seem to matter.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

How does she know if the policy lapsed? Is he getting the bill, or your friend?

In all honesty, if that's the way she feels and did put up with years of c*arp, more power to her. Couples don't need to be married to be in committed relationships.

From the OP. You are all right. it wouldn't matter unless the insurance policy or maybe they had a will made that stipulates. Her ex was controlling. I'm wondering if he told her he would take her off IF she remarried. I will be talking to her Monday so I will ask that. And I agree with the above poster about holding on to bitterness and revenge. That is not good. She needs to move on (IMO). She is in her low 50s by the way. If this post is still here Mon I will come back and let you know why she cant collect (if she remarries). But to me the main thing is, I think happiness should come before marriage unless this is her excuse not to move on?

Thank you.

No one is guaranteed tomorrow. Life may surprise her and she could go first. A sad lesson to be learned waiting to inherit money.

It might not be your way, but there are many folks for whom marriage is not the primary goal. I do understand your friend's choice. I'm not saying I'd make the same one, but if she and her boyfriend are content to be SO's as opposed to spouses, I say why not...?

I agree ${#emotions_dlg.thumbup1}$
