Life Insurance Beneficiary Inquiry

Summary

In New Mexico, an Affidavit of Heirship is often required for life insurance claims when no will exists. This document helps establish legal heirs. Beneficiaries may need to provide proof of relationship and a death certificate. If a non-heir beneficiary is involved, they should contact the insurance company for clarification on required documents and policy details. If issues arise, such as requests for unnecessary information like a non-heirs SSN, beneficiaries should report this to the insurance company. If the company cannot provide information, consider speaking with a supervisor or contacting the New Mexico Office of Superintendent of Insurance for further assistance.

life insurance policy and an affidavit proof of heirship in new mexico
It sounds like your mom is being asked to provide an "Affidavit of Heirship" related to a life insurance policy. This document is typically used to establish the legal heirs of a deceased person when there is no will.
Here’s what you might need:
- Affidavit of Heirship: This document usually requires information about the deceased, including their family history and heirs.
- Death Certificate: A certified copy of the deceased's death certificate.
- Proof of Relationship: Documents proving the relationship between your mom and the deceased (e.g., birth certificates, marriage certificates).
If your uncle has already received his payment, it might be because he provided the required documents earlier or his situation didn't need additional proof of heirship.
Would you like more detailed information on how to obtain or complete an Affidavit of Heirship in New Mexico?
my mom received the documents will this mean i may receive the same documents even if i did provide the required documents
It’s possible that you might receive the same documents if the life insurance company requires additional proof or if there is some administrative oversight. Sometimes insurance companies need the same information from multiple heirs to ensure all claims are properly validated.
Would you like more information on how to follow up with the insurance company, or any other aspect of this process?
yes
