my husband showed me as the primary beneficiary on his employer life ins. policy in 1984. we divorced in 1992 and he never changed the beneficiary designation. He later was declared incompetent & in 2003 the guardian/chancellor removed me as the primary beneficiary. the estate was shown as the beneficiary. is this legal with the us supreme court ruling of kennedy v dupont?

Better ask an attorney...I'd doubt that a court appointed guardian could've done so without court approval. His estate would mean his heirs anyway..wouldn't the money then flow to his children, and wouldn't you want it that way?
