SELF-HELP SERVICE: SimplyTrust provides a self-help document preparation service. We are not a law firm and cannot provide legal advice, select forms for you, or tell you how to complete forms. Our role is limited to providing a platform where you input your own information into document templates.
NOT LEGAL ADVICE:This document was created entirely based on your selections. SimplyTrust does not review, analyze, or verify your entries, nor do we verify your identity, capacity, or authority to act. You are solely responsible for determining whether this document meets your needs and for completing all required execution formalities (signatures, witnesses, notarization, or recording) in accordance with your state's laws. For any legal questions, consult a licensed attorney in your state.
Send it to Mutual of Omaha's estate/claims department: Mutual of Omaha Insurance Company, Claims Department, 3300 Mutual of Omaha Plaza, Omaha, NE 68175. You can reach the department at 888-493-6902.
Mutual of Omaha lists these among its required documents: Certified death certificate; Completed claim form (provided by Mutual of Omaha after claim is reported); Government-issued ID for the beneficiary; Policy number and deceased information. The prepared letter includes an enclosure checklist drawn from Mutual of Omaha's recorded requirements.
14-60 days from filing to payout, depending on documentation completeness and claim complexity. United of Omaha pays most straightforward claims within 24 hours of receiving complete documentation. Most states allow up to 30 days for review of the claim.
Mutual of Omaha provides its own letter-of-instruction form. We complete that official form with your information; you print, sign, and send it.
It depends on the capacity you are acting in. An executor or administrator encloses Letters Testamentary (when there is a will) or Letters of Administration (when there is not); a successor trustee encloses a certificate of trust; a successor under a small estate encloses that state’s small estate affidavit. The prepared letter lists the proof-of-authority document for your role alongside the institution’s required documents.
A letter of instruction is the written request an institution asks for when settling a deceased customer’s account. It identifies the decedent and the account, states the capacity you are acting in, and tells the institution what to do with the account.
