I get 4 or 5 cases each month (most I do not take) in which a man or woman claims his/her deceased parent had a life insurance policy and assert they were entitled to an equal share of the death benefit.

However, they often allege that a brother, sister, in-law, God-parent, or someone else close to the family, falsified a signature or wrongfully altered a document and kept all the money for themselves.

These people actually have no idea if a policy ever existed. Just that shortly after a parent died, the poor, stupid brother who has never held down a job for more than a month is driving a new Mercedes.

If there is a no-fail method of finding out whether the parent actually had a policy with some company, who made the claim, how much the benefit was, and when this all happened, I would very much like to know about it.

I would even be happy to send the person who gets me this information a few cases.

You think there would be a way of finding out this sort of thing. I think it is disrespectful totake advantage of a death (pertaining to cases like the mercedes) but I also know this world is losing alot of its values. Usually when someone leaves a policy or any money behind they would like it to be used for funeral and to be put up incase their loved one ever goes through a hard time. You can usually find out who your real family and friends are at a time like that. This situation I'm sure has been the basis of alot of family fueds.

The Internet is full of free sources of information. One such site (I can't remember who...they are a dot.org company) will research this type of thing FREE.

If I can come up with the name, I'll post it. Give me a few months.

C'mon Ohio - a few months?! For those of us who don't draw a paycheck unless we're producing results, a few months is an eternity. I have a case I'm working on in Southfield, MI. A couple of women (sisters) forged a signature on their late mother's death claim and their only brother got screwed out of his fair share. He's looking for a policy, which company was involved, when the claim was filed and how much they got. I was going to ask him for a $500 retainer and he'll probably pay it. If you'd lke the case, I'll send it your direction. You get the information from him and charge whatever you'd like
Let me know.

What those sisters done is nothing but sickening. It a shame to even have to pay to find that info out but you gotta do what ya gotta do. It would be nice if their was a web site set up for this kind of thing since people dealing with death usually find theirselves strapped with money woes at this time.

Money will make people do some crazy things, I have a sister who got some money from an uncles (who by the way, she did not have anything to do with) and hid it from the rest of us. It was supposed to go three ways, well she took the $8000 from the life insurance and gave me the bank books and said, you can have what is in the bank. I did not jump on it right away, thought you never miss what you don't have, well winter time came and I needed a few bucks, when I looked into it, little miss greedy went and cleaned out the bank accounts and sold the old junk car for $500, I thought she was out for blood money. I was not mad, I felt it was not mine to begin with, should have been donated to his church, but she spent every dime of it. I just got a real good glimpse of her that I did not like, love my sister to death, but money is the root of her evil, it was UNREAL. She nor I had nothing to do with this guys at all, it was a shame.

I think when someone that close to us does something so dishonest it hurts. I've had family members do different things myself especially when my first husband died. they came down and took some things to their house for safe keeping since they thought his family members would lay claim to them. Didn't really pay too much attention since it was tools and ect. I was dealing with the death of my first love and taking care of our 4 yr. old. Well the next summer they had a yard sale and low and behold there was the kerosene heaters, battery charger, tow chain...I'm sure you got the picture. Now I just don't have the trust in them anymore. At first we didn't talk for a couple months but my son started missing them so I just chalked it up to a good life lesson.
