So, I received a letter from MetLife today. It was addressed to my deceased grandma with C/O [insert my maiden name]. It simply stated they received a "return to sender" from the USPS, so they web-sleuthed and found my current address. They addressed the original mail to my deceased grandmother's old address.
The letter is non-nonchalant and just covers some random (to me) changes to stuff I don't comprehend (like credit card companies do occasionally).
Here's the thing... I remember before she passed (8 years ago) she told me she had a policy in my name. Then she passed away. I forgot about it. Now I receive this random letter. I don't live in the same state as I/grandma did, so I am impressed with MetLife's attempt to find me. Pretty cool.
Obviously, I will call tomorrow during business hours, but impatient, curious me wants to get a leg up on what to expect. Am I going to randomly become a millionaire? Am I going to have a new debt I wasn't aware existed? Do my kids get to see some large inheritance if I keep the policy and later kick the bucket?
For context, I am 32. Policy was likely taken out around 3 years of age (mom thinks).
Thanks!
