Aunt Sending Me Threats After Finding Out Truth About Insurance Policy (need Advice Asap)

Card image cap

Location: Louisiana

Sorry if my questions are dumb I’m in my early 20s and never have been in this situation before.. I have no money for legal help this was my last option

LEGAL QUESTIONS :( back story below questions )

  1. If aunt did “pay” on the policy , am I supposed to just not do the claim? (My dad didn’t have a will. No spouse and no other kids )
  2. Is it true that she can have me “arrested ” ? (she handed all this information over to me and was upset once I found out the truth )

3 ) Is a succession necessary being I am the closet to kin and he has no will?

Back story : I have postings on my Reddit please read for farther info. ( postings on profile also)

My dad passed away in January . My dad had a policy that my grandma opened when she was alive . (I never knew about it )

My grandma was beneficiary, she’s passed. My mom(dad’s wife passed) I am his only child. I cremated my dad from my own dime. He used to have a life insurance policy but cancelled it bc of hardship. Which he still had a policy that we just never knew still existed bc my aunt kept it a secret.

She has reached out to me after all this time saying that she needs to do a claim and she doesn’t have the paperwork that’s required .

I told her I didn’t feel comfortable doing whatever and I would speak to them directly . I found out that she was only

Point of contact and that I am the one that is supposed to handle the claim. I am a student and I work full time .

She has been blowing my phone up after I broke the news to her. I told her I will just follow their directions instead of hers. She is now threatening to take legal actions against me if I don’t speak to her before this Friday . ( she claim that she opened a policy on my dad herself , but the policy is in my grandma name still ) she also once said she paid on one of the before. She also send a text saying I’ll be “sorry” . I don’t appreciate her blowing up my phone. I am all for what’s right despite the way she handled things but this is too much.

Being that I thought she actually could’ve paid on the policy before I was willing to give her money . My issue was that it’s crazy she found out he died and then suddenly “found” the policy . All because she wants the money. I believe in doing what’s right but I cannot work in peace or sleep in bc she won’t stop calling and texting .
