Create a custom Life Claimant Statement 2013 that meets your industry’s specifications.
What the Life Claimant Statement does
A Life Claimant Statement (2013 2026) is a form used to provide information and a claimant’s certification when requesting consideration of a life-insurance or related benefit. The claimant generally identifies the deceased person, explains the relationship or claim basis, supplies requested contact and payment details, and signs the certification. Exact fields, supporting documents, and submission instructions depend on the organization that issued the form. signNow can help prepare the document, route it to the claimant, capture an electronic signature where permitted, and preserve the completed record and audit trail.
Who benefits from this claimant workflow
The form primarily serves claimants and organizations coordinating life-benefit documentation, subject to the issuer’s submission rules.
Insurance claim departments use the statement to collect claimant certifications and supporting details through a controlled workflow before benefit review and payment processing. Funeral homes or estate-support teams may coordinate completion for families, while keeping the claimant responsible for reviewing the information and providing the required signature. Individuals managing a life-insurance claim can complete the document remotely when the insurer accepts electronic records, reducing repeated email exchanges and missed signature fields.
These tasks are executed by both individual contributors and centralized administrators depending on organizational policy and required controls.
How the claimant statement workflow works
The workflow moves from document preparation to controlled signing and documented completion.
Prepare document: Upload the Life Claimant Statement and prepare its claimant, policy, date, and certification fields. Assign fields: Assign each required field to the claimant or authorized reviewing participant. Route statement: Send the statement by email or generate a controlled signing link. Store evidence: Capture the signature, completion record, and audit trail for administrative review.

Challenges when completing the statement
Claimants may use an outdated statement version or omit policy identifiers, causing the administrator to request clarification before reviewing the benefit claim. A mismatch between claimant identity, beneficiary records, and supporting documents can delay review even when every required signature field is complete. Sending sensitive death, identity, or payment information to the wrong recipient can expose personal data and require corrective disclosure procedures. A claimant may sign before confirming whether the issuer requires notarization, original documents, or additional proof of relationship and authority.
Best practices for completing the statement
Accurate identity data, controlled routing, and complete evidence reduce avoidable delays when submitting a Life Claimant Statement.
Verify claimant information before sending
Control reusable statement templates
Preserve the audit record securely
Confirm issuer and state requirements
Platform requirements for signing
A claimant can prepare or sign the Life Claimant Statement through a supported web browser on Windows or macOS, or through signNow mobile apps for iOS and Android. A reliable internet connection is needed to load the workflow and submit the completed record.
Browsers Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge Desktop systems Windows and macOS desktops Mobile systems iOS and Android mobile apps
Organizations should use managed access for staff handling claimant information and confirm that the selected workflow supports required authentication, audit-trail export, and retention controls. Browser and mobile availability does not change the insurer’s requirements for notarization, original documents, or supporting evidence.
Questions about signing this statement
Resolve identity, signature, routing, and record-retention questions before submitting a Life Claimant Statement to its reviewing organization.
If a claimant cannot identify the correct policy or benefit record, stop before signing. Confirm the claimant name, insured person, policy number, and administrator’s instructions. signNow can route a corrected version, but it cannot determine which policy information is legally accurate or replace the issuer’s review process.
A typed or drawn signature may satisfy ESIGN and applicable state law when the signer intends to sign, consents to electronic records, and the record remains reproducible. The issuer may still require an original signature, notarization, or another method, so confirm its instructions before sending.
If the claimant’s name differs from the name on the policy or death record, do not silently alter the form. Attach or reference the requested legal-name documentation, then ask the benefit administrator whether a supplemental explanation is required before completion.
For consumer-facing electronic records, ESIGN generally requires disclosure of the right to receive paper records, access to the electronic format, and a withdrawal process under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c). Configure the workflow accordingly when the claimant is a consumer rather than an internal user.
The signNow Business plan includes templates, audit trails, and mobile apps at $8 per user per month when billed annually. Business Premium is $15 and adds bulk send and kiosk mode. Select the plan based on the actual number of claimants and signing workflows, not the form name.
A completed statement should be retained with its signed document, completion certificate, and relevant correspondence under the issuer’s records policy. signNow provides audit-trail functionality, but the correct retention period depends on the organization, claim type, state law, and any applicable insurance-records requirement.
