NARCO: Claims Processing Updates Related to Timing of Submission for Proof of Personal Representative’s Official Capacity

eClaims has been updated to allow claims to be reviewed for exposure, medical and statute of limitations purposes and receive an offer prior to the submission of the appropriate Certificate of Capacity documentation. To the extent Certificate of Capacity documentation is required, any offer on the claim is contingent upon receipt of both the signed release and the appropriate Certificate of Capacity documentation. The claim will not be paid until the appropriate Certificate of Capacity documentation is provided. 

NARCO: Update to Trust’s Policy on Proof of Personal Representative’s Official Capacity for Deceased Claimants

The NARCO Trust has revised its policy on acceptable documentation for proof of the personal representative’s official capacity for deceased claimants. The NARCO Trust will continue to accept Letters Testamentary/Letters of Administration or other proof of the personal representative’s official capacity as provided or allowed by applicable state law.  Alternatively, the NARCO Trust will now accept the submission of the Affidavit of Decedent’s Representative and the Law Firm/Attorney’s Representation Affirming Official Representative’s Authority as proof of the personal representative’s official capacity.  To be clear, submitting one form and not the other form will not be sufficient – both forms must be submitted to satisfy the requirement.  The forms for the Affidavit of Decedent’s Representative and the Law Firm/Attorney’s Representation Affirming Official Representative’s Authority can be found on the NARCO Trust’s Documents Page.
