The Coverage Picture

Policies Go Unclaimed More Often Than You Think

Families often don't know a policy exists, and carriers don't always know a policyholder has died. Heirloom searches the NAIC database and state registries to match the decedent to policies and benefits owed.

Individual & Group Policies

Term, whole, and universal life policies, plus employer group coverage the family may never have seen.

NAIC Policy Locator

Searches the national insurance database to match a decedent to in-force and paid-up policies across carriers.

Beneficiary Designations

Who each policy names, and whether proceeds pass directly to heirs outside the estate or fall into it.

Lapsed & Paid-Up Policies

Older policies that were fully paid or lapsed but may still carry cash value or a death benefit.

Annuities & Riders

Annuity contracts and policy riders that carry their own benefits and beneficiary rules.

Unclaimed Death Benefits

Benefits already reported to state unclaimed property programs that heirs are owed.

Heirloom is exactly what I needed. A one-stop shop. Especially in the midst of grief, these tools are a lifesaver.

How It Works

From a Name to a More Thorough Policy Inventory

Step 1

Enter the Basics

Your staff spends a few minutes entering the decedent's name and identifiers into a secure dashboard. No document hunting to get started.

Step 2

Match Policies to the Decedent

Life insurance typically surfaces within the first couple weeks as Heirloom searches the NAIC database and carrier records to match policies and benefits.

Life insurance is only the start. The same intake can also surface real estate, retirement plans, bank and investment accounts, business holdings, unclaimed property, and other liabilities, feeding one shared estate inventory.
