why would insurance companies want to know about previous beneficiaries when a policy has been changed and why dont they check themselves ? can insurance policies be contested ? _________________ Register Now to have your Insurance queries solved.

Hi US4and,

Have you asked them in return why they need to check with the previous beneficiary when they have a present one?

It can be, depending upon circumstances. Has it been contested? That may give some idea why checking with the previous beneficiary has become necessary.

Did an adjuster ask you for the previous beneficiaries?

Or is it that you've come across experiences shared by others over the internet?

I don't think thats possible so easily. Which state does this person belong to?

We'd probably need to go through the state laws regarding the provisions for a beneficiary change.
