If you suspect a deceased family member had any life insurance, but you cannot find a policy, there are several things you can do to find policies. If the deceased had a policy through work you can contact the Human Resoures department. They will know what benefits the deceased had. You can also check with any credit cards companies the deceased used. There may have been death insurance through the credit card. For individual policies you can use one of the paid search companies to find the policy for you. Do a search using "find lost life insurance policy" or "missing life insurance policies" and you will find some reputable search companies.
You should be aware that insurance companies do not turn policies over to State Unclaimed Property accounts unless they know the person has died and they cannot find the beneficiary. So searching unclaimed asset sites is a waste of time. The beneficiary has to find the policy if they hope to collect any benefits. That's why it's usually easiest to use a paid service.
