Question

My father died and left me beneficiary of his life insurance how do i find out the name of the company?

Answer 1

Search through all the papers and documents in his house if he had a policy you should come across it.

You may have to go through all the old checkbooks to find when the premium was last paid. This might mean looking back as far as one year.

Check old credit card statements.He may have paid premiums by credit card.

Ask his lawyer, banker, or accountant. and his auto or home insurance agent.

If he was employed he may have some coverage with his employer.

You can also have the Medical Information Bureau conduct a policy search for $75.

As a last resort put in an address change and wait until the next statement or premium notice is sent.

Answer 2

How do you know he left you as the beneficiary of his life insurance? Did anyone tell you? If they did, then they should be able to tell you what the company's name is. If no one can tell you, then you will have to look at his check book and see who he had been paying the insurance money to. Hopes this helps.

Answer 3

his attorney should have a copy of the policy .

Answer 4

Isn't there a safety deposit box or safe where the policy is kept? Did he have any thing in his bank? How do you know for sure that you are beneficiary? How do you know he had life insurance?

Answer 5

does he have a will and also go to his bank ya sounds weird but the bank can tell you the info and also look through his file cabinet if he has one

Answer 6

If you don't even have the policy, how do you know that to be true?  Look through his personal records.
