You can try the Medical Information Bureau's Lost Policy Locator service ( http://www.mibsolutions.com/lost-life-insurance/ ). They might be able to tell you the name of any insurance company your mother applied to. Then it's up to you to follow up with the insurance company. _________________ CA-licensed Life & Disability Analyst. CA Insurance Lic #0596197.

Look for some documents that will prove that you mother indeed has insurance. Also, try to talk sincerely with her husband. _________________ David

I am going through the same thing at present, well not exact. My father passed away and his documents were not in order. We located his policies through looking for premium payments through his check register. Just a suggestion. _________________ Register Now to have your Insurance queries solved.

First policy terms should know. Policy holder may be expired, concern nominee should approach to lic office.

My mother passed away July 2008 and she was a retiree of the state of NY. She had a policy with them but when she passed and I called them they said she did not have a policy with them is there any way to find out if she had a policy anywhere. _________________ Register Now to have your Insurance queries solved.

It is unlikely that a "retiree" of the state of NY would have had life insurance coverage provided by the state. She may have opted for conversion coverage from the state's group insurance provider, but probably did not due to the extreme cost that would have meant. If you know which insurance company provides the group life insurance benefit, you can contact them directly to inquire. If your mother had an individual policy there may be a record of the application for it on file with the Medical Information Bureau. They DO NOT have information about group life insurance.

You are asking a question SEVEN years after the fact. Why has it become important now, in 2013, when it wasn't important in 2005? Address your question to the insurance company, not us. _________________ CA-licensed Life & Disability Analyst. CA Insurance Lic #0596197.
