Best Answer

You must complete a claim form & use Death Certificate as proof. Pay-out times vary but can be as fast as a few days.

However, if the polcy is within the first 2 years A.K.A "Contestability Period" or "Suicide Exclusion Period", their may be an investigation by the Life Insurance Company to determine if the policy is eligible for a claim.
