Re: Insurance claim and divorce
Yes, you should be able to settle just for your part. Given the particular circumstance which you're now apparently facing with your spouse, it would probably not be advisable for you to attempt to settle your wife's claim.
And, yes, of course, you should advise the insurance company of the fact that you do not know the current whereabouts of your wife but that you are now prepared to settle your share of the claim.
