Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Connecticut
401k question
My sister's husband passed away a little over a year ago. After more than 10 years of marriage, he overlooked naming her the beneficiary of his 401K plan which he had prior to his marriage. He has no kids. He has living Parents, brother and sisters. Who is entitled to it if no one was named as the beneficiary. They reside in the state of Connecticut.

Most 401K plans specify that if there is no named beneficiary, then it goes to his estate. If he hed a will, it will be added to the residuum of the estate; if he had no will, it will go to the surviving spouse.
