The Florida Probate Code In Florida, divorce does not remove the ex-spouse as beneficiary under a life insurance policy. Florida takes the position that the life insurance policy is a contract and should not be interfered with unless fraud is involved. Check your insurance policy to be sure who you have named as beneficiary. Do not rely on the numerous statutory probate codes to determine who will get the insurance proceeds. If you want to change the beneificary of your life insurance policy and the divorce decree is final, complete a new beneficiary form, keep a copy and send it to the insurance company.
