Life Insurance Locator Service

By Hull & Hull LLP

Ever wonder if (or wish that) you might be the lucky beneficiary of a hefty life insurance policy left to you by some benevolent benefactor? Well now you can find out if your wishes have come true. 

A life insurance policy locator service created and maintained by MIB Solutions Inc. allows you to search 170 million records to see who may have named you (or your client) as a beneficiary. The database includes policies collected from virtually every North American carrier involved in life insurance. The hit rate is 30%. An executor, administrator, a surviving spouse or other relative eligible for appointment may be entitled to order the report.  Policy Locator can make it easy to discover life insurance benefits you may not have realized existed.
