If you believe that you are a beneficiary of someone's life insurance policy, but don't know which insurance company - go to court and request to see the probate file of the deceased's estate. It should be listed there.
You can typically find out who the beneficiary is on a life insurance policy by checking the policy documents or contacting the insurance company directly. The beneficiary information is usually listed on the policy itself, in the beneficiary designation form, or in the insurer's records.
The beneficiary of a life insurance policy is designated when the policy is taken out. After that the policy owner (usually the insured but now always) can change the beneficiary by completing a change of beneficiary form. The company processes the change then sends you an amendment showing the change. Normally you put this amendment with the policy as it becomes part of the policy. If the policy owner kept their records straight then you could look at the policy and see the latest amendment to find out who the current beneficiary is. If your not sure the policy is kept up to date you can contact the company and see who the latest beneficiary is on the policy.
In a scenario where undue influence is suspected in naming a beneficiary on a life insurance policy, investigations may involve looking at the timing and circumstances under which the beneficiary was named.

It is important to consult with a lawyer specializing in estate planning or probate law for guidance on how to proceed.
The only way to find a person or deceased Life Insurance policy with a Social Security number is to know the name of the company that issued the policy. With that information, the beneficiary can contact the Life Insurance company and search his policy with his Social Security number. Please keep in mind that if you do not have a signed sealed death certificate the policy benefits will not be issued. Also, the death benefit will only be issued to the person named as the beneficiary. So if someone else besides the named beneficiary on the policy tries to receive the benefits, it would be impossible.
You would need to ask the owner of the account or insurance policy owner.
Beneficiary information is privately held by the owner of the policy. The only way you can find out is to ask that person.

Ask the insured if still alive, or check the policy. You can also call the insurance company and ask customer service if you are the beneficiary. You would need the policy number.
You may be the beneficiary of the will and there may not be any insurance. If you were named on an insurance policy, the insurance company will find you.
