My Mother did in fact have private insurance other than and above Medicare. I received two checks from her insurance indemnity plan which as well paid her for being in medical care and routine doctors visits. They told me that my Aunt tried to get that money but they found that I was the sole beneficiary being the closest next of kin.They found me through her obituary and contacted me. My Aunt sent me a very short message stating that her records indicate that I had received $***** from my mothers indemnity policy. Enclosed with a was a ring owned by my Mother that my Aunt thought I would like to have. Basically worth $500.00 but I am keeping it in memory of my Mother because she wore it a lot. My Mother sold her home back in 1989 and put the money into CD accounts, also in 1991, my grand mothers estate which she was pretty well off. This all went into Cd, even my Fathers alimony termination settlement which was a considerable amount as well went into Cd accounts. There is as well her personal checking account to take into consideration. My mother did have a comfortable life financially and never needed or wanted for anything. These Cd accounts were a high interest yielding and have matured countless times over the course of 30 plus years. She just kept rolling them over. If I am to do the ground work first before hiring a lawyer how do I get this information ?
Also I had contacted the hospice and they told me that all her financial responsibilities had in fact been paid in full.
