More details to this question:
Last year my Brother-in-Law passed away and I was his last living relative and sole heir. I contacted the Life Insurance company and they said I was not the beneficiary. His Personal Representative, a Lawyer in Maryland, was told the same thing and they would not give him any more information. I know that he did not have any other living relatives so I have no idea who has rights to the insurance. If it is someone alive and has legal rights to it, being the named beneficiary, I am OK with that. I just don't want the benefits going to the State as unclaimed.

If you are not the beneficiary, you lack standing to address this matter. Your brother-in-law's personal representative has standing to compel the life insurance company to disclose who the beneficiary is. You should consider contacting him and offer to pay him out of your pocket to conduct that discovery. He probably is not pursuing that information to avoid wasting assets of your brother-in-law's estate merely to learn who the beneficiary is.
