Can I make a car insurance claim for my deceased grandfather? 
That is a great question ! The answer depends upon this - are you the executor of the estate ? If the car was left to you specifically , or you are the executor of the estate , you might be able to file the claim . If you are not , then whomever that person is will need to do it . Is the policy still in force ? Unfortunately it is far too common that someone passes away , and their insurance lapses because payments were n't made to continue it . If that is the case , then no claim can be filed . Your Grandfather 's insurance company may also get difficult if they were n't properly notified of his passing . You may want to have some legal help with this one . Good luck , and thanks for asking !
