MATRIMONIAL REGIMES: Provides for the revocation of beneficiary designation for certain assets. (8/1/26)

SB 378 automatically removes an ex-spouse as a beneficiary on retirement plans and life insurance policies after divorce. It applies when divorce occurs after the beneficiary was designated, the couple remains divorced at death, and no court agreement overrides it. Payors (like insurance companies) aren’t liable for payments made before receiving written divorce notice. The law would apply to both current cases and past divorces, excluding Louisiana Public Retirement Law beneficiaries.
