When we call the insurance co. To find out info (ie amt of policy or amt of loan against policy) regarding the policy do they have the right to deny us info based on the privacy act?

Re: Life insurance information

I'm sorry, but you have not explained this so that an answer can be given. Who is the beneficiary? Why on earth was a life insurance policy assigned to a funeral home, or was it? File a claim against whom? For what? A loan? What loan? What is your role in all this? Are you the beneficiary? I'm sorry, but the legal world is very complicated and all the details in a coherent manner are required before any type of answer can be given. Your welcome to call if it is easier.
