Claim any life insurance (using the seguros registry certificate)
Why it matters
People often hold life cover they never mentioned — including bundled with mortgages. The registry certificate reveals the policies.
How to do it
- The Certificado de Seguros lists policies with death cover and the insurers.
- Contact each insurer to claim, with the death certificate and proof you are a beneficiary.
- Check mortgage and loan agreements — they frequently include life cover that clears the debt.
