I am so sorry for your loss. Did you open an estate for your Father? And it is probably long closed? You may have to re-open it to allow whom ever was the executor to collect the funds. If you did not open ana estate for your dad - no assets - then you can probably do a small estate affidavit to collect the funds. It really depends on what your state allows and what the insurance company wants. Good luck.
