Once signed and notarized, the affidavits must be filed with the probate court in the county where the property is physically located. A certified copy of the death certificate and a copy of the will, if any, must be attached to each affidavit, along with title documents for real estate and other large assets.
Policy Assignment Options The recipient will complete a form to designate the benefits directly to the funeral provider or a third party, who then files a claim with the life insurance company. Policyholders can choose this option when pre-planning a funeral by naming the funeral home as the primary beneficiary.
If the insurance company does not have its own form, the funeral home may use the attached Irrevocable Assignment of Policy Ownership form. Fill out the information requested, have the policyowner sign the form before a notary, and submit the form to the insurance company.
