My father recently passed unexpectedly & he was a very private person. No one has any idea where his documentation would be & so far we have come up with nothing. We believe he had insurance; he was just that type of person. Any info will be beneficial.

try looking through old bank statements for checks paid to insurance companies.  You can also try local agents if that is who he worked through, or check to see who his homeowners policy was with as they may have helped with life insurance as well.  if all else fails, you can write form letters to a bunch of companies to see if policy was on file.

are you talking about an insurance point of view? if they apparently died at the same time, the the person who owns the insurance policy is deemed to die last, since then the insurance benefit will go into his/her estate not the estate of the beneficiary

I would suggest contacting the Veterans administration, or the Legion hall, in the area he was in.  they may have MORE knowledge on this, and HOw to get access that we may not have.

See if the local newspapers in his neighborhood where he passed away have the obituaries on microfiche at the local public library.  Or, try Ancestry.com, I believe they have a social security death index.

Family members, friends of his. A Social Security number would be one of the best ways to track him down. I do not know of any free ways. however, some of these agencies don't charge a great deal, perhaps it would be worth the cost. Good luck on your search. I hope someone has a more helpful answer for you. God bless****

Very thoughtful.  You did not mention if he were still alive or what branch of service he had served.  He might have registered his DD214 with the Hall of Records I would check there first if not, go to http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/get-service-records.html  then you can request it on line at their web page; fax it or write them.  If after you receive your DD214 you need awards and medals download a Form SF 180 Requests Pertaining to Military Records, http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/replacement-medals.html   complete it and send to one of the following:\n\nBureau of Naval Personnel  (Navy, Coast guard and Marines)\nLiaison Office Room 5409\n9700 Page Avenue\nSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100\n\nNational Personnel Records Center  (Air Force)\nAir Force Reference Branch (NRPMF)\n9700 Page Avenue\nSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100\n\nNational Personnel Records Center   (Army)\nMedals Section (NRPMA-M)\n9700 Page Avenue\nSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100\n\nBest of luck.  Thank-you and God Bless you and the Southern People.

If anythong will work the info at the site below should help. Good luck, I wish I had this info years ago when my dad died.

I assume you've asked your parents and any surving friends or siblings of your grandfather? If you can find out the name of his division, then you might be able to google for an organization of veterans of that division. They might have pictures.

My dad had autopsy and they took aabout a month to give out results. I think it depends on how busy they are. Obviously this is distressing for you. Maybe you or other famiy member could contact them to see how much longer you have to wait...Im sorry for your loss and will send some long distance healing for you

Go to unclaimed money.com enter a name search.  Why not just try to start surviving relatives, one of them may have certain documents photo's and and certificates you can use for a search.. You can also check the office of vital statistic where he was born or fathered children under his name.  You have many search engines that do not charge fees for the kinds of investigations.  Try as many as you can.  Good luck.

I was able to get some of my father's WWII records by starting at this site:\n\nhttp://www.archives.gov/veterans/evetrecs/index.html\n\nWhat I got wasn't complete & I was informed that sometimes the records from that era are sketchy.\n\nGood Luck!

There are a few places.  If you are family of the deceased, check with your county/parish Coroner's office.  If you are family, you could receive autopsy reports, toxicology reports, etc.  If you are not related to the deceased, you could only get a Coroner's report, which is a one page report pretty much stating cause and manner of death.  You could try your state's Vital Records office (or a health unit) for a copy of the Death Certificate.  Not sure if police would give you certain reports.  Those reports would tell you the actual events leading up to the persons death, the coroner's reports will tell you how and what the person died of. Hope this helps.

As to real estate: go to the registry of deeds where his deeds would have been recorded and look his name up. You may be able to do this online in some places.\n\nAs for a will or probate of the estate: go to the probate court where his estate or will would have been probated (usually the county he died in or was his residence when he died) and look his name up.\n\nThese are all public records and do not require a lawyer.\n\nIf there was a probate of the estate, there should be an Inventory (a list of all the property he owned at his death - it may not be very detailed, but anything worth money should be separately listed.\n\nIf there was no probate, then you will only be able to find out about the real estate.

How Do I Get My Medical Records?\n\nAll hospitals, and most doctors' offices, have a release form that you can use to request your medical records. In most cases you can request the medical information directly from the doctor's office or medical records department at a hospital. For information about a cancer, you should send your request to the hospital's pathology department.\n\nKeep in mind that offices may only keep records for a certain amount of time as required by that state. You should call the office to be sure your records still exist. In many cases you can simply send a letter that includes the relevant information rather than using a specific form. This letter will need to include:\n\n    * Your birth date.\n    * Your full name (including any information about name changes).\n    * Time frame when you were seen (for example July 1998 to September 2000).\n    * The specific types of information you want sent (such as reports from a brain scan, your cholesterol levels, etc.).\n\nYou can have your records sent to yourself to share with a healthcare professional, or directly to a health professional. If you do have the records sent to a health professional, let them know to expect the files.\n \nHow Do I Get Medical Information About My Relatives?\n\nMedical Records\n\nYou can only access medical records for other members of your family with their permission, or with the permission of the next-of-kin for a deceased family member. Each state handles next-of-kin slightly differently, so you should check the requirements in your state. However, the usual legal order for next-of-kin is:\n\n    * The spouse\n    * Children or parents\n    * Grandchildren\n    * Siblings\n    * Nieces or Nephews\n\nIf you are not the next-of-kin, you will need the signature from the legal next-of-kin along with the medical release form. You may also need to attach forms indicating your legal right to the medical records, for example, if you or the next-of-kin is the executor of the estate. Each medical facility has slightly different regulations about the paperwork required for obtaining a relative's medical records. It is best to contact the medical facility before submitting a request.\n\nOften there is no charge to request medical records if the medical records are sent directly to a health professional. If you request that the medical records be sent to you, there may be a fee. The cost can be surprisingly expensive if there are lots of medical records because there are per page copying charges and sometimes additional charges for the time of the person making the copies.\n\nIn some cases, the information you need will be on the death certificate, which is easier to get than the medical records. If you are not the next of kin of the deceased, you should consider getting the death certificate first. If that does not provide the information you need, then try to obtain the medical records.

One thing you could do is go on to www.ancestry.com and type in his name. If he is dead, his name should appear in the social security index. I believe that part of the site is free. Also, if he is dead, it will give his last known address, etc. i am so sorry you were damaged as a child. I hope you can find peace. Best of luck.
