Administrator rev ronin Posted June 20, 2023 Administrator Share Posted June 20, 2023 Serious question: Is there a national clearinghouse one can contact if one suspects that a close family member of a patient is attempting to goad that patient into suicide, presumably to collect on a life insurance policy previously obtained for just that purpose, when the neither the patient or I knows through which company such insurance might have been obtained? Asking for a friend, of course. PM's welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sas5814 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Life Insurance Policy Locator (naic.org) Might be a criminal matter too though proving it would be very difficult. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayamom Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 It was my understanding if the death is by suicide the life insurance policy is null and void. I could be wrong.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most have an exclusionary period of 2 years. After that it pays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always feel better after reporting, it is no longer my worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
