I had the policy turned over to the funeral home several years before her death. She has died but now he won't sign over the policy to pay for burial. This is happening in the state of New Jersey.

Your brother cannot make himself beneficiary. If it appears that way, it is very likely illegal. Let the funeral home to after your brother since they were holding the policy. Do not, you personally, pay one dime of the cost!

Nope, not legal. Let the funeral home fight it with him

If you turned over the policy to the funeral home, were they not made beneficiary? If so, brother had no right to change it even if POA. I am surprised the insurance company allowed it.

I agree, the funeral home will have to sue ur brother. There must be a contract or a Trust done at the time the policy was turned over.

When my Mom went on Medicaid, I had to cash in the two small policies she had. The money was placed in a funeral trust that the state Medicaid of NJ allowed.
