<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#0E2841">Mother passed away. Daughter recalls mother telling daughter that she had a life insurance policy naming her children (daughter and her sibling brother) as beneficiaries.
When daughter asks mother’s husband (unpleasant step-father) if he is aware of any such policy, he says no.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#0E2841"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#0E2841">Has anyone ever dealt with a situation such as this? Not sure if mother ever did have a policy, or if she perhaps cashed it out, or if she perhaps changed the
beneficiaries (from her kids to her second husband, for example).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#0E2841"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#0E2841">Is there a way to locate a policy (assuming it does exist) without calling every possible life insurance company?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
