I spoke to the Plan Administrator and she can not provide me any information. I think it is because I'm not the beneficiary. I only know that I'm not because the friend is calling and asking me for my dad's birth certificate and death certificate for the pension. She seems to be getting information from the plan administrator, so I assume she is the beneficiary and she said she was. I am very stressed, as I have to figure out a way to pay the funeral home. Btw, you stated the estate is responsible for his bills. Since, I am his only child and the property is being switched over to me, doesn't that mean I'm responsible?

Seeking advice....my father retired two years ago and start receiving his pension from a labor union, which is 100 percent funded by employers. I am the only child, he is single, and I was left with a large burial bill, property taxes, and other estate bills. I discovered he changed his beneficiary on his pension to a friend, who will start collecting his monthly pension. Is there anything I can do at this point to receive his pension? Override the beneficiary or Obtain a DRO to assist with the expenses?
