Re: insurance policy collection with no will
The question is who is the named beneficiary to the insurance policy? If your grandfather's estate, then you'd have to enter an estate in probate. If someone else, they'd have to claim against the policy. If you were named, then simply a copy of your grandfather's death certificate should be sufficient.
