My aunt recently passed away, leaving no children. I am listed as an heir in her will. We don't know if she had any life insurance. I would think she would have...she was very responsible about things like that....but we have found no documents in her papers. How can we find out????

You could check her insurance agent, but he/she may not know. If she didn't tell you she had insurance it doesn't really help.

You might look through her check book records. If she was self-insured she would have to pay premiums. She could also have been insured through her work place or social clubs. Was she a member of AARP? You might also look at any credit cards she carried. They offer life insurance occasionally. As you close out her other financial affairs, I would inquire with each. Does she have a safe deposit box? A lot of people hold important papers in them. Good luck.

Check with the Dept. of Insurance in your state. State governments regulate life insurance companies on a regular basis.
