My Father has died I know he had some insurance but can not find the paper work how can I find out any Policy?

Question

How to find if a person has an insurance policy and which company it would be with, without any paperwork? Would there be a search database for all the companies which could be made with the correct details or any other method of search to find this out.

Answer 1

Ask any insurance companies that you think might have had him insured. . .

Answer 2

No, there's not any database. If you can't find any paperwork, you could check with his attorney, or you can go to his bank with a copy of the executor agreement to show you have the authority, and go through years and years of checking statements, to see which insurance company he's been paying for the policy.

Insurance policies are private transactions - so the only people the insurance companies will communicate with are the owners of the policies, and the appointed executors.

Answer 3

Have the executor of your fathers estate contact his insurance agent. They may know of the policy or can do a search for it. The agent may also have other ideas to trace the policy.

Your fathers Bank records should also show the premium payments and who they were made to. The bank will provide the information to the executor.

Answer 4

Difficult by not impossible.

Go find an insurance agent and tell him the details.It may take some digging, but it can be done.

Also, yourstate unclaimed property dept may be able to help.

Of course, ANYTHING about the policy would help, name ofc, policy $, agent etc. c

Dig thru old, cancelled checks. You might find one made out to a paricular company.

Good luck.

Answer 5

If you have no paperwork it would be very very hard for you to prove he had any insurance, even if you do find out he did you'll have difficulty in making a claim!

Answer 6

i think that if you no the company it was with they should be able to help you out or if he had a solicitor you can try it that way
