What is the name of your state?
California
I am one of four beneficiaries on my father’s life insurance policy. I live in California but he lived in Colorado and I think the life insurance company is located in Texas. Anyhow, his policy was not quite two years old when he died. The insurance company is investigating his application and having the doctors send his medical records. As I understand it, this is quite normal, however it is taking a very long time. My father died almost 5 months ago and the last time I spoke to the insurance person handling our claim he said he had still not received the medical records from my father's doctors. He said it could even take another 5 months to resolve the investigation. This seems very unreasonable to me and my question is how long does an insurance company legally have to investigate a claim?
