Q: How do I report a death?
Justin Mack, Insurance Advisor
A: You will first need to phone your life insurance carrier.
Each company may differ slightly in their process when reporting a death claim, when you contact your carrier, you will be instructed on what is needed and how to complete the claim.
Its important to have the following information available when contacting your life insurance carrier:
- Insured’s full name
- Nickname (if any)
- Date of birth
- State of residence
- Policy number(s), if known
- Date and cause of death
- Name of person reporting the claim
- Relationship of the deceased
- Daytime and evening phone numbers and any additional information/comments
- Certified death certificate
