What is the processing time for a life insurance claim?

It veries from company to company. Despite what you see on TV the insurance co does want to pay the claim. The process is notifying your company of the death. They send out claims paperwork, you fill out and send back with death certificate, from that point it should only take a week or two. Overnighting the documents will speed things along. Also, consider asking the agent for help. 4lifeguild
