Arlington Beneficiary Disputes and Interpleader Cases
When more than one person claims the life insurance proceeds, insurers often refuse to pay until a court determines who’s legally entitled to the money. These cases, called interpleader lawsuits, are common in Texas and require immediate legal action to avoid losing your rights.
We represent clients in all types of beneficiary conflicts, including:
Ex-spouse versus current spouse claims
Contested handwritten or outdated beneficiary designations
Lawsuits involving adult children, stepchildren, or other relatives
Claims complicated by divorce decrees or prenuptial agreements
Federal and state interpleader litigation
We know Texas law. We know insurance company tactics. And we know how to win.

-
A grace period is the time after a missed payment during which the policy remains in force, usually 30 to 60 days depending on state law and policy terms.
-
No. In most states, insurers must send a written notice of overdue premiums and warn of pending lapse before terminating coverage.
-
The policy may still be enforceable. Beneficiaries can challenge the lapse based on the insurer’s failure to provide required notice.
-
Yes. If the insured dies during the grace period, the policy is still considered active, and benefits should be paid.
-
Yes. In group life insurance policies, employers sometimes fail to forward premiums properly, leading to wrongful lapse denials.
-
Yes. If automatic payment setups fail through no fault of the insured, lapses may be challenged.
-
Some policies automatically borrow against cash value to cover missed payments. Failure to apply this correctly can lead to wrongful lapse claims.
-
Possibly. Some courts excuse nonpayment if the insured was mentally incapacitated and missed premiums without proper notice.
-
No. Reinstatement must occur while the insured is alive, but wrongful lapse denials can still be challenged posthumously.
-
Not without following strict notice and grace period rules. Beneficiaries can often challenge technical denials.
-
Deadlines vary by state, but it’s critical to act within 1 to 5 years depending on the policy and jurisdiction.
-
Not necessarily. Payments mailed within grace periods or accepted by insurers may keep coverage active.
-
Bank records, payment receipts, insurer correspondence, and premium notices are key evidence.
-
If the insurer used an outdated address despite updated information, lapse denials can often be overturned.
-
Possibly. If the insured submitted a reinstatement application before death, it may help challenge a lapse denial.
-
In some states, special grace periods and protections applied during COVID-19 emergencies. They can help fight wrongful lapses.
-
Only if the insurer followed all legal notice and grace period requirements. Otherwise, beneficiaries may still recover.
-
Misapplied premiums can lead to wrongful lapses — and courts often hold insurers accountable for these errors.
-
An attorney can obtain records, challenge improper lapses, negotiate settlements, and litigate if necessary to enforce payment.
