To collect on a life insurance policy do you have to have the death certificate with the cause of death or can you use a death certificate that does not have the cause of death?
A death certificate with the cause of death is usually required on life insurance policies. It depends on the insurance company, the type of policy and what its terms are. An insurance company will most likely require a death certificate with the cause of death, because the cause of death is important in all life insurance claims. If the policy is one for accidental death benefits only, the company is entitled to know and the beneficiary has to prove that death was accidental. An insurer is entitled to know whether death occurred as a result of suicide, which might not be covered by a standard life insurance policy. Also, an insurance company is entitled to know if the death was a homicide that the beneficiary had something to do with, because that would render the beneficiary ineligible to collect benefits.

When filing a life insurance claim should documents be received from the insurance company before sending the death certificate?
If you want to be sure your claim gets paid, and not denied, get the death certificate before you send anything to the insurance company. Many times we see death certificates that state causes of death, such as "head trauma...due to intoxication", that are not accurate but will certainly get the claim denied. If you get the death certificate first you can deal with any issues of improper reporting. I work at the Center for Life Insurance Disputes and we help clients collect death benefits.

The insurance company must be notified of the insured's death, preferably by a beneficiary, policy owner, or an insurance agent, at which point it will send out packages of paperwork to all beneficiaries on file for that insurance policy. The paperwork is filled out by each beneficiary and returned to the insurance company, along with a certified copy of a death certificate, at which time the insurance company processes the paperwork, verfies the eligibility of the claim, and then, if appropriate, pays out the proceeds of the insurance policy.
