Leon Law Firm, (214) 696-0021

Yes. A life insurance applicant may appoint anyone (or any entity) as a beneficiary on a life insurance policy, even a common law spouse. Also, if a common law marriage was in existence, then a common law spouse may have community property interests in a life insurance policy (purchased after the marriage) if the spouse is not listed as a beneficiary.

If you would like to discuss this with our firm, please call us at (214) 696-0021, or click below to instant chat with us.
