The Life Insurance Association, Singapore (LIA Singapore) has launched a register of unclaimed life insurance proceeds to facilitate the collection of outstanding payouts.

The LIA Register of Unclaimed Life Insurance Proceeds is on the association’s website for members of the public to search and contact the respective insurer or insurers directly, should they have policies with unclaimed death proceeds of deceased relations, or unclaimed maturity proceeds that have been outstanding for more than 12 months.

Life insurers will continue to do what they have been doing on a company basis, i.e. attempt to trace claimants through various means including sending advisers to contact their clients, placing newspaper advertisements and listing unclaimed proceeds on the company’s website.
