Where Can I Find Life Insurance Info On Someone in California?

[Ibrahim Hughes]

Hi All. My Aunt passed away last week and I just heard from her only Son, my cousin, for the 1st time in 25 years. Long story but we're now trying to help him navigate this situation as he has no idea whether his Mom had a life insurance policy or not. She actually sold life insurance not too long ago. Does anyone know where I would begin in the state of CA?  I'm here in NJ and our Dept of Banking & Insurance might have the info here if she was a NJ resident. 

I see that the state of CA has a 'California Department of Insurance'.  Doe anyone have a division or specific ph # that I could call?  I'm also wondering if there is a private company or another government agency that might have this info. Anyone? Thanks in advance.
