In this short promotional video, Jerry Taylor warns viewers that life‑insurance policies can go unnoticed after a policyholder’s death because many insurers are not legally required to notify beneficiaries. He shares a striking anecdote about an uncle who left a $120,000 policy that the insurer kept, accruing interest while the family remained unaware. Taylor cites that more than $6 billion has already been reclaimed by families who searched for such policies, and he emphasizes that the true amount of unclaimed funds is unknown due to the lack of disclosure obligations in most states. He concludes by offering a free workshop on how to plan and locate forgotten policies, inviting viewers to comment “workshop” to receive a registration link.

Chapters

Your uncle died with $120,000 sitting in a forgotten life insurance policy. The insurance company knew he was dead, but they didn't call, they didn't write, and in most states, they're not required to. They kept the money, collected interest on it while the family had no idea that it existed. Over $6 billion has already been recovered by families who went looking for policies like this. Nobody knows how much is still there because in most states, the insurance company is under no obligation to tell you. I'm giving a free workshop next week, and we're going to talk about a way to plan to avoid this. Comment workshop and I'll send you a link to register if there's still room.
