My daughters father died in an accident while driving a truck for his job... I hadn't spoken to him in years and he had not provided any support for her in the last 10 years of her life... I found out on the news that he died in this accident... We called his job to find out if my daughter was listed as beneficiary on anything that he had filed at the job and they said they could not tell us... They had someone from Liberty Mutual call me about a workers comp dependency claim for my daughter... Being that he had not provided any support for her in the last 10 years of my daughters life they denied her as his dependent... They told me that he was providing money to his family in another state to help them buy food and they were going to try and make the mother and father his dependents in order to continue to provide them money to buy food... Why is a natural child less entitled but someones parents rank above them??? They are eating at the expense of their grand-daughter... Is this legal??? How do I find out who (if anyone) was listed on any insurance policy he might have had thru his job???? And, if nobody was listed isn't the beneficiary supposed to be his child - regardless of the fact he had not provided any support for her in the last 10 years... I went online and found out that his family had not mentioned his daughter in his obituary as surviving him but he called my mother regularly to see how my daughter was doing... Could the fact that they did not list my daughter on his obituary clear the way for them to obtain any insurance policy if no beneficiary was listed??? I wrote his brother a letter asking him to send my daughter some pictures of her father because she had not seen him since she was 3 years old... We also sent a plant to his services and money for them to purchase him some flowers since his passing... I have received no response whatsoever... I believe as his child she is entitled to whatever he had... We had no court ordered child support agreement because he begged me not to take him to court because he always ended up in trouble so I had him write me a letter that stated what he would pay for her support... I understand minors are not to be listed as beneficiary but if no one was listed, a trust fund could have been set up... Its clear the family does not wish to talk to me or have anything to do with his daughter which is no problem with me, so I am sure if I asked them who the beneficiary was they would not tell me... How do I go about finding out??? And, since the accident was 28 December 2004 is it too late to find out anything???

Take the security benefits and leave else alone. You weren't pressing for child support before his death but now it seems as if you want EVERYTHING.
