Dad died Dec. 5th of last year. He may have had a term life policy worth 50K... Mutual of Omaha carried it. How would I go about finding out if this thing is any good? Does term life expire? How does a policy like that work?

He left no indication of this. Mom found some info inn their divorce interrogation.

Call them and ask. Be prepared to obtain a Death Certificate if so. They can't hide it from you if he did. Most people in similar situations let the premiums lapse and get cancelled.

Yes, term policies expire after a set number of years from the beginning of the policy enrollment. Its usually a 10, 20, or 30 year term depending on how old your father was when he was issued the policy.

Contact them and determine if he had a policy. They usually contact the primary beneficiary once notified of a policyholders death. A death certificate will be needed to issue the payment.
