I'm worried my sisters estranged husband is allowing and contributing to my sisters drinking b/c he knows it might cause her death. I am wondering if he has something he is going to get out of her death if it occurs because he is that type of person. I'm worried about her alcoholism and this is weighing on my mind. Any help or advise would be great.

Well, first of all, it's none of your business. Honestly, I mean that. It's between them - they're still married.

Second, you can always ask your sister. She would know if she signed the application.

Lastly, you can pay $75, and go here: http://www.mib.com/html/lost-life-insurance.html but you HAVE to have legal power of attorney for HER, in order to find out if there have been any APPLICATIONS submitted for her in the past ten years. You can't just plunk down your money and look up anyone, you HAVE to have legal authority for it. And it sounds like you don't. It won't tell you if there are POLICIES in force, just if applications were submitted, and to which companies.

The only way is to ask her if she has an insurance policy, and if so, how much is it worth.
