I am saddened that Mr. Edwards made such poor decisions in his personal life. Those choices have cost him and his children a lot. I do not think he broke the law and it amazes me that these lawyers can twist and turn things around to attack him personally. Do we really want to pay for a trial that he will clearly win?? I don't think so. Move on!! I think we should focus on people like Casey Anthony, she killed her baby and may get off the death penalty because she is a good liar! At least John Edwards told about his affair, accepted the responsibility for his infidelity and his very gracious late wife accepted his faults why can't the government just let it go. I believe Mr. Edwards should be able to focus on taking care of all his children and get on with his life. Make better choices Mr. Edwards!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am serving as a POWER of Attorney for a widow, I am not an attorney. It took almost 3 years to get the proceeds from his life insurance from New York life the policy amount was only around $140.00. The policy originally had his mother and father as a beneficiary who both preceded him in death. New York life kept insisting we provide them with certified copies of the parents’ birth certificates. They threatened to turn over the funds to the state of Wisconsin as unpayable. In conversation after receiving the threatening letter they stated that they will be turning over the funds to the State of Wisconsin if we didn't provide them with the parents’ death certificates. I told them to please turn over the funds as then the widow will be able to get the funds. Finally after another letter from New York Life I called in again and Stated that I was not going to provide unnecessary paper work and only after I Mentioned taking this matter to the Insurance commissioner’s office for the state of Wisconsin did they decide to settle the matter. Ironically they had everything they needed?

 My sister passed away a year ago with a small life insurance policy in force with Globe life. When contacted they said she had changed beneficiary from myself to a person in another state, unknown to any of her family or friends. I immediately contacted our States Attorney General and the Insurance Commissioner, they investigated. Shortly thereafter, said insurance company apologized for a clerical error and issued the benefits!They keep sending me offer's to sign up with them for more insurance!!Check often on your beneficiaries name, as being the same name you gave them. Years down the road, those left to collect on your life insurance may find John Doe/ or the Mrs., have already drained the inheritance!Thank God for our efficent State agencies!

Is there a site I can go to, to see if unknown to me, insurance policies unpaid may exsist?
