How do you find out who bought out a life insurance company?

Answer 1

There are a few reasonably ready ways to do this.

First, if you know the proper name of the insurer, go to its website and there will likely be an article or notice to policyholders concerning the change of structure or ownership.

You can also contact the insurance commissioner's office in the capitol of your state. Assuming that the company does business in the state in which you live, there would need to have been regulatory filings made/approved. There is likely Division of Consumer Services from which the information is available. Alternatively, check through the Division of Insurer Services.

Finally, you may be able to get the information from the website of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (See link below).
