Question

my father died suddenly in Mississippi, he was a resident of Austin, TX. His girlfriend called and got the ss# of my sister and I. I have recently found out that she recieved insurance money from his death. How do I find out what and if I was entitled to anything? I think she took the money and maybe even forged our signatures

Answer

Insurance proceeds from life insurance are payable to the beneficiary, and are not part of the estate, unless the estate is the beneficiary. Contact the insurance company to determine if you or your sister were beneficiaries of the policy.
