How to file a life insurance claim

The death of a loved one can be hard. To manage the loss while also taking care of the day-to-day things can be a lot for some to bear. That’s not including dealing with the leftover debts that you may incur as a beneficiary. It’s not always a pleasant process. But if you’re a beneficiary making a life insurance claim on someone’s policy, there are some steps you’ll have to take.

Once you’ve notified the life insurance company of your loved one’s death, you’ll have to gather copies of the death certificate for things like gaining access to financial accounts, contacting service utilities and others. For Wysh claims specifically, the death certificate will suffice. You can also supply the policy number of the insured and proof of identity (driver’s license, passport, etc.) in addition.

All in all, the claims process is just that—a process. It can be easier for some and not so easy for others. Which is why we believe that our Wysh Granters team is a wonderful way to make that process as helpful as possible. So how do they work exactly?
