Guardian Resources
According to data from AARP, almost 40% of grandparents provide some consistent childcare for their grandchildren. While this may be fun at times, it can also be very taxing on some families. There is a lot to think about when it comes to raising or watching a child, especially when it comes to safety.
How to Find Life Insurance Policies
The NAIC Life Policy Locator can help you find the life insurance policies and annuity contracts of a deceased family member or close relationship.
Life insurance companies will only respond to your request if they have reason to believe that any life insurance policies or annuity contracts are in the name of deceased, and you’re a designated beneficiary.
Probate Referees
What is a Probate Referee? A probate referee is used to determine the value of the estate property.
A probate referee is a person who is appointed by the probate court to help value the money, property, and debts of an estate.
As of 2021 the minimum rate for a probate referee is $75 and the maximum rate is $10,000. If you’re interested in learning more about how these probate referees can assist you during your time of bereavement, please see the links below.
