Can any of you legal eagle give some advice on the following dilemna. My father recently died, leaving a generous pension. I am executor of of his estate so i followed up with the pension providers and they informed me that when he retired in 1999 he put his girlfriend at the time down as his benificiary, with my brother and I down as secondary beneficiaries (in case she died). This puzzled me as he has been separated from his girlfriend for the past 8 years, so I asked for a copy of the form. It was as they had said but I could not help but notice that the girlfriend who was named as benificiary was also the witness to the document. Is this legal?
