Dear Ms. Holt,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We suggest checking your mother’s will to see if it mentions a life insurance policy.

We hope this is helpful!

Check with her place of employment to ask whether she purchased a group policy there.

If a smaller estates probate is going to be opened up eventually (did she have other assets in her estate that need to be probated, such as personal property, real estate), the executor is the only person who has authority to order copies of her monthly bank statements to see if she was making monthly premium payments to pay for her insurance policy.

There are many ways you can follow to acquire information about your deceased parent's life insurance.

Here are some strategies to help simplify your search.

• Look for insurance-related documents.
• Contact financial advisors.
• Review life insurance applications.
• Contact previous employers.
• Check bank statements.
• Check the mail.
• Review income tax returns.
• Contact state insurance departments.

I think these will be helpful and make it easier for your to find out where your deceased mum bought or signed insurance policies.
