First, call your bank. Tell them that he forged your signature and that you want them to take action. They have an entire department to handle matters like this. Second, call the insurance company and explain it to them. Tell them you've never been paid and you want your money. In the end, you may have to file suit against your dad in Small Claims (JP) Court. Good luck. I know family disputes are the worst and are tough on everybody. But right is right and wrong is wrong, so do what you need to do.
