Re: lawsuit won
You must open an estate in the city where the person was living at the time of death. Once the estate is opened and an administrator is appointed then the insurance company will have to pay proceeds to the estate. This can be a complicated process so hiring a lawyer would be the best thing to do. Feel free tonctct me firm we handle these matters quite frequently.
