Finding and Claiming Unclaimed Life Insurance Benefits

It’s not uncommon for life insurance benefits to go unclaimed. Beneficiaries may not be aware of the policies, or the policyholder may have lost track of the paperwork. Our Florida life insurance lawyers have helped family members get life insurance benefits after a person dies and they are entitled to life insurance benefits. If you suspect there may be unclaimed life insurance benefits in your name or for a family member, here’s a guide to help you through the process.

Steps to Find Unclaimed Life Insurance Benefits:

  1. Check with the Insurance Company: If you know which company issued the policy, contact them directly to inquire about any unclaimed benefits.
  2. Search Personal Records: Look through the deceased’s personal records for any evidence of life insurance policies.
  3. Use Online Tools: Websites like the National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (NAIC) Life Insurance Policy Locator Service can help identify policies.
  4. Consult with Employers: Past employers of the deceased may have offered group life insurance policies.
  5. State Unclaimed Property Programs: Each state has a program for unclaimed property, including life insurance benefits.
