What can I do if someonetook outlife insurance policies on me without my consent?
My ex-boyfriend works for an insurance agency I gave him all of my info for an auto insurance quote. I just found out that he forged my signature and opened 2 life insurance policies on me. He also added my mother as beneficiary without her knowing. What can I do?

You can contact the insurance companies that the policies are taken out with and his boss at the insurance agency he works at AND the state department of insurance who licenses him. Explain what you have explained here. He was "smart" to forge your name. He can not take out a life insurance policy on you as he does not have what is known as an insurable interest in your life. You must have one in order to take out a policy, but not to be the beneficiary of the policy. I am guessing that he is the beneficiary of the other policy. So the policies on their face appear valid but then we have the forgery issue. You should also contact the police on that matter. Good luck. Stay healthy.
