One of the siblings has all the info and refused to provide the rest of use with this info. I don't have time to take off from work chasing this sibling and the rest are looking to me for answers. He was retired from two jobs and there was other insurance. How can I get this info without this other sibling help? how can i get these former jobs to provide info, instead of them giving me the run around?

You need to get the paperwork. Even if he does have insurance if you are not a beneficiary you will not get a cent. Just hope he doesn't have a beneficiary listed, and it will be split evenly. Even if you are able to find out where he has insurance, you wont be able to find anything out with out being the executor of his estate and you'll need a copy of his death certificate. When my dad died, he didn't have a will and everybody wanted to deal with the oldest child... Which is technically the next of kin.

Unless u know the name of the insurance co. it is going to be difficult to track the policies. Every ins. policy has a designated beneficiary. If ur siblings name is not listed on the policies, there is nothing she can do, as far as collecting on them. The company will release the money to whoever ur father named. Did he not have a will ? If he did, u should all receive a copy and perhaps there is so info there in regards to his policies.

This might be a long shot but who gets the mail that's coming to your dad's house or where was his mail going? My point is, generally companies send out annual or quarterly statements, premium notices, whatever. Maybe with the end of the year coming, statements could come in at this time, too. (They also go by anniversary date so it may not coincide with the end of the year, just a thought). I have recently dealt with families where the father passed and they find all kind of stuff coming in the mail that they didn't know about. This just comes from the "Dad always handled that" arrangement. When something happens, it's often hard to put the pieces together, but from my experience, the incoming mail may be able to help you out.

Former jobs most likely aren't giving him ANY insurance, except maybe health insurance.
The reason you're getting the run around, is because they can ONLY provide that information to the executor of the estate, due to privacy laws. So if the other sib is the executor of the estate, and you don't like it, you'll have to go to court to get YOU named as the executor. and if NO one is the executor, ie, there is no will, then you STILL have to go to court, to get named as executor.

Hard to find, that's why I always tell people to let your loved one knows that you have life insurance policy on you.
Call his employer HR, they will tell ya if he had any insurance thru work when he retired. besides that, check old bank record and see if he had paid premium money to any insurance company, if yo find any name call the claim department. Besides hard to find out because there are over 1000 insurance companies.
