Do you know the name of the insurance company where he purchased the policy? If so, contact the insurance company yourself. If you don't know the name, there is a policy locator search service at [url=http://www.mib.com]MIB Group[/url] where you pay a fee of $75 and they search through the top 400 insurance companies in the US. Hopefully no one has done anything to the policy and hopefully you are still the beneficiary, but it is possible that your mother could have cashed it in or your father could have submitted a beneficiary designation change form to change the beneficiary from your name to her name.
