Critical Illness Forms

[Martina37]

I could do with some advice, I have been going through my divorce for 5 years, he has been ordered by the Court in January 2019 to sell the marital home immediately! It’s now June and he hasn’t done it. To top all this I have been diagnosed with Lung Cancer Stage IV ! He won’t sign the critical illness form to release the money as it was a joint policy! Does anyone have any help or advice they can offer me?

Back to court, pronto.

Sorry to hear of your experience with divorce and lung cancer. I can't believe he could be that cruel and stubborn. Just hope there's no children involved.

Ask your insurance company if they would take his name off the joint life insurance policy and if you are still able to make your claim.

As for the house, get a lawyer today, it'll be worth the cost. The rewards are there and you can have that comfort you deserve.

Thought 🤔 try and talk to him in person and put your difference aside. Even if either of you don't like one another.
Good luck and hope all goes well and a successful claim. Assuming he's the policy owner.

Speak to the insurance company and ask to have your case escalated to a manager. If you are a joint policy holder then they should be able to release the funds to you direct given the circumstances. If you have correspondence from court, solicitor etc this should help your case.

Who has been paying the joint policy for the past five years that you've been going through divorce proceedings?
