There must be insurable interest between you and the person you want to insure. Insurable interest mean that you must be financially and emotionally affected if the person dies.

How can you find out if someone has taken out a life insurance policy on your recently deceased father?

In order to take out a life insurance policy on your father, they would have needed an insurable interest. This limits it to family members and creditors. Ask! No, only your father can take out a life insurance policy on himself. He could have taken one out on himself with his friend or pastor being the beneficiary (person who collects after final debts are paid), although no one else is able to take out a policy one someone else. And no one else besides the owner of the policy may make changes to an existing policy. Hope this helps.

Can I take out a Life insurance policy on someone I am not related to?

Yes, you may be able to take out a life insurance policy on someone you are not related to - the determination is made by the insurance company as to who you may insure.

The following are examples of Insurable Interest regarding life insurance: 1. Parent and child, husband and wife, brother and sister have an insurable interest in each other because of blood or marriage. 2. Creditor-Debtor relationships give rise to an insurable interest. The creditor or loan provider can be a beneficiary for the amount of an outstanding loan. 3. Business relationships give rise to an insurable interest. An employee may insure the life of an employer, and an employer may insure the life of an employee.
