Re: home owner's insurance claim
Sure, it's legal for them(the insurance carrier) to ask for the authorizaions which you've mentioned, although, of course, you're under no obligation to provide them. (Of course, your refusal to do so might possibly affect the disposition of your claim.)
Why not give the adjuster or claims examiner a call and make inquiry as to what seems to be holding things up?
