I am the beneficiary, but I have no info...
Hello everyone, I created a reddit account just so I could ask this question because I have no one else to ask.
But recently my father passed away and to keep it short, he was a very wealthy man.
Although we didnt have the best of relationships, I know for a fact I am listed as a beneficiary on at least one of his life insurance policies.
Even though I am a BEN on his policy, I am also not the only one, nor am I the next of kin.
So I do not have access to his policy number, his death certificate, or his social sec number.
His ceremony was recently though, so I imagine the next of kin will start the process shortly. Unfortunately, me and the next of kin have gotten into an argument, and they will no longer respond to me.
If I feel like the next of kin is going to be spiteful, and not give me any type of information on the life insurance policy, what should I do?
I was going to wait at least 2-3 months before I do anything drastic like get a lawyer. But if I am not being notified, and lets say the process has started, how would I notify the insurance company, and let them know that I am a beneficiary?
I hope this question makes sense, I'm not really sure how to ask it. But please let me know what you guys think I should do.
Thanks! Any and all information is very much appreciated!
