My mother was murdered by her boyfriend. After he shot her in the chest he shot himself in the head and died at the scene. She died a few hours later in the hospital. The thing is that she was listed as a primary benificiary on his life insurance policy. Technically she did not pre-decease him. The insurance company is stonewalling me and Im not sure how to go about securing the money for my brother and I. I have not opened the estate or been deemed the administrator of her estate yet because the insurance company won't tell me whether or not it will pay out. Also I believe that I was listed as a contingent benificiary.They won't tell me anything. I found some unofficial paperwork on all this but it was dated in 2007 so Im not sure whether or not it was current. Any advice? I don't want to waste money on lawyers if there is the possibility that there is no money to be gained. All I need to know is how can I find out what the current policy says. His daughters have already filed a claim but the insurance company won't even tell them who is on the policy. Will they be forced to provide me with information if I have power of attorney over my mothers estate?
