Expert Answer
You ask if there are any assistance programs available to (low-income) survivors, that can can help her obtain insurance proceeds for her deceased. It's possible that a Legal Services office can help, if there is such a program in or near Shoreline, Washington. Beyond that, all I can think of is to contact the local bar association to see if it can provide a "pro bono" (ie no cost to your sister in law) attorney to help her.)
