Edna Kersting (Partner-Chicago) and Alexis Pool (Associate-Chicago) co-authored "Northern District of Illinois Upholds a Guardian Ad Litem's Court-Approved Change of Beneficiary on Decedent's Life Insurance Policies," which appeared in the July 18, 2017, issue of DRI: The Newsletter of the Life, Health and Disability Committee. Edna and Alexis offer a synopsis and analysis of the salient points in a recent case in which the Northern District of Illinois found the change in the policy from the decedent's former wife to his current wife substantially complied with state and federal requirements for changing the beneficiary on non-ERISA and ERISA policies.
