I just got a letter saying I’m a beneficiary to a life insurance policy my elderly family member had and that were recently informed of her passing .
I am confused and surprised for two reasons. First, she died over two years ago and the lawyer handling her estate said they didn’t see any documentation for anything showing my family member was paying for a life insurance policy. we were not sure how the company was informed of her death.
Second my family member was 92 when she died. I feel like it’d be super expensive for any decent life insurance policy to be maintained at age 92.
So I’m thinking maybe this is a tiny policy or a mistake. Like maybe it’s an old policy that was inactive or something and there’s a mistake.
The company won’t give me details until I submit the claims forms. And I’m waiting on receiving a copy of the certified death certificate.
I can’t help but be curious about this. Im certainly grateful my family member thought of me and making me a beneficiary but I don’t want to get my hopes up. Any speculation on what I could realistically expect ? Have any of you known a 90-something year old with an active life insurance policy ? If so what was it for ?
