The change of beneficiary wasn't processed by the insurance company. They said they sent out a letter to the policy holder, but I do not have access to it. No further information has been provided at this time. I have a copy of the change of beneficiary form and can't see anything that isn't properly filled out.
The policy is for a large amount, so a contingency for 25 to 33 percent would be over a million. Hourly it would cost $100,000 to defend the case. I guess I'm a little confused by the contingency fees. It seems like it would be the same amount of work to pursue a 2 million dollar policy and one a lot higher. Would it be possible to find an attorney that would take it on a lot lower contingency? For example, they would be paid $500,000 on a percentage basis if we prevail. I know they are taking on the risk. I'm still debating on whether to take on the risk myself and pay hourly. The one attorney I have spoken to thinks I have a strong case.
