Both of my parents passed away. How can i find out owed money if there is any?

Florida.
Well my father passed away in 98 from ALS and im positive he had a life insurance policy.. my mother died in 2000 from serois(spelling) of the brain and im not sure if she had one or not but its possible.
I dont have any paper work but i belive they used Globe Life Insurance.
Im trying to find a lawyer that will do the checks and i wouldnt have to pay any fees unless money is found.
How should i go about doing this?
Btw im 20 if that means any thing.

Contact Globe at www.globeontheweb.com and ask them to search by your parents names.

Thank you..ill try calling them now.
Any one else with advice?
And it is possible they had the life insurance policy and i never collected it?
How would that work.. im brand new to this.. like they pay a monthly payment on a sum of money if something happens to them and there children can collect it if the other parent is passed away?

Do you know if there was a safety deposit box or somewhere safe they may have kept their policies?

How about canceled checks or automatic withdrawals that may have been used to pay premiums?

A lawyer won't be able to do anything you couldn't do for yourself. Go to the website again and click on the REQUEST FOR INFORMATION link and send them an inquiry by e-mail, but it would be even better if you sent them a letter about this by certified mail.

You were a minor when both parents died, who was your guardian? Have you asked them?
You may have to look through that box of papers.
Have you checked check books? Bank records?
Also check the unclaimed property site for your state.

Other options might be to ask an aunt or uncle, other relatives, or close family friends that may have been your mother's confidante. I know my mother doesn't make a move without consulting her sisters first.

Just a thought.
