More details to this question:
MY Mom passed away January 30. 2020 and did not have the beneficiary changed on this policy. My father that passed away over 7 years ago is still the beneficiary and no second beneficiary was noted. How do I go about getting this taken care of through probate? Thank You, Penny Coleman

If no secondary beneficiary was named, the policy is part of the estate. If there was no Will, you may be able to file a Small Estate Affidavit. Keep in mind that even this may take more than half of the $2,000. Ask a local probate attorney about how it works where your mother lived and died.
