Upon receipt of the complete documents, the Leadway Assurance Death claim forms would be availed the applicant and expected to be filled by the beneficiary and returned.
The required documents are:
* Valid means of identification of the beneficiary e.g. NIMC, VOTER’S CARD
* Valid means of identification of the deceased e.g NIMC, VOTER’S CARD
* Death certificate
