Life Insurance question.?

Mother passed away a few years ago. The letter sent to me from that Company wanted proof she has passed so I mailed original Birth and Death records. All the family members, as well as the execitor of her estate have also died. My name is not on the policy. If they didn t think I should inherit this money, why did they send me papers to fill out? How do I proceed now to receive any money she had in that policy. Really curious if this is a scam so the company can keep her money and not let me as the family member be paid. Please explain what I should do now,

    I guess the company cannot locate the people who are entitled to the money. They are obligated to send a letter to the next of kin. You are who they found. She did not leave the money to you. It would go to the alternative beneficiary and, it looks like you are not that person either. If you want to know whether you are entitled to the benefits, consult with a lawyer. Take a copy of the Will.
