It depends on the company and your age. They are not required to notify you of your policy lapsing. Contact them and ask them what you need to do to get it reinstated. If it has been too long, you may have to reapply.

How do you check status of old insurance policy with occidental life insurance company of California?

Before an insurance company can sell insurance in a certain state, it must register with the State Dept of Insurance. If the company is sold, then it must notify the Dept of who it was sold to. If it just closes down, its policies were likely sold to another company, the Dept will have to be notified of that as well. Contact the CA Dept of Insurance and inquire there.

Does the bank notify you when your life insurance beneficiary is to receieve monies?

I'm not taking your question lightly, but if YOUR life insurance beneficiary is going to receive money, that means YOU died. Hence, since you would be gone, there would be nobody to notify. The insurance company has to be notified of your death. Your BENEFICIARY or policyowner or executor has to FILE A CLAIM to receive the death proceeds. The check is usually just sent to the beneficiary or beneficiaries. Sometimes things are a little more invovled when there are title questions, like a divorce, or dying intestate, or if the insurance company is notififed of a dispute in court over the ownership. If you're having a dispute, notify the insurnace company of the dispute and the person's death, so they can freeze issuing the proceeds to someone who may be last listed as the beneficieary, but the court finds in favor of another party.

Can finance company repo your car if your insurance lapses?

You usually have to have insurance in case you have an accident. The finance company can then retrieve the debt from the insurance company. If you do not have insurance then they will have to retrieve the debt from your other assets such as your house if you have one! If they perceive that you are a bad risk they may look at getting the car back if there is enough equity in it but they will still want any outstanding dues. Better to keep up the insurance. They may not know the insurance has lapsed unless you notify them.
