"An interpleader is not a denial of your claim—it's the insurance company asking the court to decide who should receive the benefits," explains Jason Turchin, Esq., a Miami-based life insurance attorney. "Many families don't realize they must act quickly to protect their rights or risk losing the money their loved one intended for them."

What Is a Life Insurance Interpleader?

When two or more people claim the right to life insurance proceeds, the insurer may file a lawsuit known as an interpleader, deposit the funds with the court, and let a judge decide who is entitled to the money. Common causes include:

  • Conflicting or updated beneficiary designations
  • Disputes between current and former spouses
  • Allegations of fraud, forgery, or undue influence
  • Lack of a named beneficiary or death of the listed beneficiary

Legal Tips for Families Facing an Interpleader Lawsuit

  • Don't Ignore the Lawsuit – Failing to respond can result in a default judgment against you.
  • Consult a Life Insurance Attorney – These cases can be complex and emotionally charged. A lawyer can help gather evidence and present a compelling case in court.
  • Preserve All Documentation – Keep copies of the policy, beneficiary forms, communications, and any evidence showing the policyholder's intent.
  • Act Quickly – Court deadlines apply, and early legal intervention can make a difference in the outcome.
  • "Many people think they can't afford a lawyer, but we often handle these cases on a contingency basis, meaning no fees or costs unless we recover money," adds Turchin.
