Help Avoid a Lost Life Insurance Policy
Losing a life insurance policy is common. To help avoid a lost life insurance policy, you are recommended to:
- Make sure a current copy of your policy is with your will or estate paperwork in a safe place where your family or beneficiaries will know to look for it and will have access;
- Consider asking your insurance company for an annual policy statement if one isn't provided;
- Alert your beneficiaries of the policy. Provide them with the name of your advisor and the name of the company the policy is with; and
- Update your beneficiary information. Make sure your company and advisor have current contact details for all listed beneficiaries.
