Beneficiaries.

If you are the beneficiary of your fathers kehoe acct( spelling)? Can his surviving spouse refuse to sign it over to you.  And if she could not gain access where would I find out about said account 

In a situation like this, there are details that make a big difference in the answer. The key rule is this -- if the current surviving spouse never gave written, notarized consent to you being a beneficiary of your father's Keogh Plan account, then she is deemed to be the beneficiary. (There might be an exception if your father was married less than a year at his death, but most plans I work with don't provide for that exception.) Unless your father had elected a distribution option that named you as beneficiary before his marriage to his current spouse, and benefit payments had started before his death, you probably have no recourse.

If your situation is in the least bit complicated, talk to a lawyer rather than us.
