First- check with the Surrogate in County where uncle lived to see if there was a Will probated and if you are mentioned in it. Second, if you know which insurance company it was, you need to contact them. For this, you will also need to know the insurance policy number so you can check the beneficiary designation. Unfortunately, your aunt may not give you this information and without it you may not be able to check anything. Good Luck.
