Checking the deceased’s insurance policies
During their lifetime, the deceased might have also bought insurance policies.
First, you might want to check if there are insurance policies mentioned in the deceased's will.
Alternatively, you can check for the deceased's insurance policies by:
going through his or her personal belongings
asking close family members or friends if they know where the documents were kept
contacting the deceased's insurance agent for help
Nominated beneficiaries of the deceased's private insurance policies will have to contact the insurance company directly for more information.
