You never really know how good your insurance is until you need to use it, yes? So I'd like to hear from you who have been through the unfortunate situation of having to make a claim on a life insurance policy.
I know how much insurance I want and I know what type, but now I'm interested in hearing about companies - specifically how good/bad a company is when it comes to paying a life insurance claim. Please share your experience(s)!
Thanks =)

insurance companies are rated (the rating is mostly regarding how secure they are). Make sure sure get a highly rated company so they are in business if you need the money.

AM Best rates -- I'm sure you can google AM Best and get some information.

Hi C.,

My Mom carried an AARP life insurance policy before her passing in 2004. She had named her brother as benificiary. Unfortunately he passed only 6 months before she did. My Mom never recovered from his passing and therefore didn't have the prescence of mind to change the benificiaries to my sister and me. After she passed, we had to prove that our uncle had preceeded her in death and that we were her only children. Once that was proven we got a check in no time. She didn't have a will but the titles to all the property she and my uncle owned were already signed and we didn't have to go through the courts. (He died from cancer and she had some close calls so went ahead and signed everything just in case.) It probably took us 6-8 weeks to get the final checks. AARP split the policy into two checks so there was no question we each got our fair share.

I hope this helps - S.
