My sister and brother are both claiming my mother’s life insurance policy is all theirs… What can I do?
The first question you must ask yourself is if either your brother or sister had a Power of Attorney for your mother when she was alive. If yes, then you have to ask yourself whether you suspect any fraudulent behavior on behalf of your sister or brother when they had that Power of Attorney. If Yes to both previous questions, you must find out whether there were any beneficiary changes to the life insurance policy when your mother was alive. If all of the above questions were answered in the affirmative, then there is a good chance that further investigation is required to determine if all of the previous affirmative answers are a mere coincidence or if one of your siblings has committed fraud.
With the economy still slumping and many people still without a job, family members are resorting to stealing from themselves to put food on the table. If you suspect that you were entitled to life insurance proceeds and were told you would be by your deceased mother or father but are now being told that your parents removed your name as a beneficiary prior to their death for no apparent reason and never told you they were doing this, there is a good chance there are fraudulent circumstances that need to be investigated by life insurance lawyers.
