Found Information In Old Texts From Friend Who Passed Away 4 Years Ago — Is It Too Late To Do Anything?

Card image cap

Location: San Francisco, CA, USA.

Okay, so, a really close friend of mine passed away 4 years ago on March 23rd, 2022. A "mutual friend" (someone I had met like only twice previously but I had always heard about and who knew me) reached out about it and told me on April 22nd, 2022.

To be fair to them, most of the people this friend knew, did not have my contact information.

That being said, I was going through old text conversations and found back on June 22nd, 2020, that this friend had asked to list me as their Emergency Contact in their medical stuff. I had told them "Yes of course" and they casually mentioned that I was listed to receive their life insurance if they ever passed away.

Again, this message thread was so long ago that of course I had forgotten by the time their death occurred 2 years after that conversation. But now we're talking 4 years since their passing.

What I'm trying to find out is if there's anything that can be done to find out what happened to the policy, as well as the fact of why I never received any contact when my friend passed away, especially considering I was listed as their Medical Emergency Contact? Or is it too late now despite it just coming to my attention tonight?
