How do I claim on a life insurance policy?

If you need to make a claim on a life insurance policy, it's going to be your beneficiaries that are doing that for you because, unfortunately, it will have meant that you have actually passed away. So, first of all, it's very important if you do have life policies in place you make sure your loved ones are aware that those policies are there. Secondly, if the claim then needs to be made, what will actually happen is the insurer will need to be contacted and informed exactly what's happened. They will then take you through their claims process which will involve understanding the cause of death and will probably involve having the GK and having receipt of the death certificate. They will then contact the insurer, and all of their contact details will be in the policy document. Then, the provider will take you through a series of questions to understand the reason for the claim. Once that's all been satisfied and everything's fine from their end, the money will be passed on to you.
