Lost dads Policy

[microbar]

My father passed away recently

He had an insurance out for years but after recieving the claim form from his insurance company it asks for the insurance ref number.

But we have looked all through the house but not been able to find the policy and therefore dont have the policy number,

My question is how do we make a claim without the policy number,

thanks for all help.

Sorry to hear about your loss. I think you probably will be able to claim without knowing the policy number, although the insurer will probably ask extra questions to prove your identity.

Surely if you give the insurance company all his personal details they should be able to trace it? After all the policy did exist and the fact that you can't find the reference number should not prevent you from claiming. I would give them a ring and explain the situation.

 

In my experience insurance companies are usually pretty helpful - we actually got a letter from one that OH had paid into many years ago and after calling them we found that they wanted to pay him what was due and he had completely forgotten that the policy existed.

How were premiums paid? By direct debit (Reference number on a bank statement) or by a payment book at the door (Policy number must be shown in the front of the book).

 

Insurance Company might well be able to do a postcode/name search. Are you the Administrator/Eecutor of the estate?

They were paid by cheque

Ask at the bank if they have them. Some people like to keep that type of thing lodged at the bank for safe keeping.

Yes thanks I never thought about the bank it makes sense

That dad may have left his documents at the bank

I am still not thinking correctly thanks again.
