§2449.1. Revocation upon divorce; deferred compensation plans
A. A divorce of an individual from the individual's spouse revokes any benefit payable to the former spouse by reason of the individual's death under any pension, profit-sharing, retirement, or similar benefit plan, provided that the divorce occurs after the beneficiary is designated, the parties remained divorced from each other at the time of death, and no judgment or property-settlement agreement expressly provides otherwise. If revocation occurs, the proceeds of the plan are payable as if the former spouse had predeceased the decedent.
B. A payor is not liable for having made payment in good faith reliance on the validity of a beneficiary designation affecting any pension, profit-sharing, retirement, or similar benefit plan before the payor has received written notice of the divorce, judgment, or property-settlement agreement at its home office or principal office with notice that the beneficiary designation has been revoked under this Section and has had a reasonable time within which to act.
C. This Section shall not apply to any beneficiary designation made pursuant to the Louisiana Public Retirement Law.
