What is meant by Estate Papers?
My wife recently passed away and she was enrolled in a group life policy. I made contact with the carrier and informed I was not the beneficiery. The amount is just 4 figuers, but I was informed, due to the confidential laws, the carrier can,t disclose who is the beneficiery or any clue as to who is! So this is my delemia someone in my family is entitled to the policy amount. My wife never had an estate plan of any sort.
So what is my options and what is estate papers . I would like to avoid an attorney for they charge $400.00 an hour that can be expensive in relation to the small amount of her policy.
Answers:
Find the policy. Beneficiary is named there.
You can call the company back and ask them for paperwork to fill out regarding the Freedom of Information Act..once filled out, they have to disclose to you who the beneficiary is! Good Luck!
Don't know what state you are in or what high-priced attorneys you are hanging with --- $400 an hour is NOT average. In Chicago $400 an hour will buy you one of the major top attorneys that do personal injury law and win. For estate/probate/wills you do not need Clarence Darrow.
