Do life insurance companies contact beneficiaries? Many life insurance companies try to contact beneficiaries if the beneficiaries dont contact them first. The catch is that theres no automatic process that tells them about policyholder deaths.
In general, beneficiaries are notified within three months of the date that the Will is filed with the probate court. Beneficiaries of a Trust document are notified much sooner.
A typical timeline While there is no strict deadline, beneficiaries are usually notified within a few weeks to a few months after someones death.
(b) Within 30 days after acceptance of the trust or the trust becomes irrevocable, whichever is later, the trustee shall inform, in writing, the qualified beneficiaries of the trustees name and address. The information shall be delivered or sent by ordinary first class mail.
Most beneficiary designations will require you to provide a persons full legal name and their relationship to you (spouse, child, mother, etc.). Some beneficiary designations also include information like mailing address, email, phone number, date of birth and Social Security number.
