After

How do we calculate the amount that you are owed from your husband’s life insurance? This amount is made up of three parts. A total of 251,081 € was paid in. The share of the profit for the whole insurance term is also added, amounting to 30,120 €. The subtotal of 281,201 € is the basis for the interest, which makes up the third part of the total amount. In order to make the payment, we need the following information.

Before

The amount of interest is determined on the basis of the available amount on the date of decease. This corresponds to the amount payable on the date of decease according to your spouse’s life insurance policy, and totals 251,081 €. We will add 30,120 € to this amount due to a claim to a share of company profit which was incurred during the term, resulting in a total value of 281,201 €. Please ensure that we receive the following documents within three weeks.
