A: I do not know what a heir certificate is, but you are probably talking about an affidavit of heirship that determines a decedent's heirs under oath. Also I do not know what a go guideline is. If this is some type of TN child support, it has nothing to do with insurance already paid out after an obligor dies. The father will probably have to sue the insurance company as well as the paid out beneficiaries. His breach of contract suit will be difficult and probably unsuccessful.
