It just depends on the complexity and severity of the loss and the ensuing claim. It could take a few days, a few weeks or sometimes even months.
It takes at least 7 days but could take years.
It would definitely depend on your insurance company. My insurance company like me to call them when I need to file an insurance claim and then I talk to an agent who takes down the specifics. If you have a personal agent you would want to contact him or her.
An insurance company cannot drop you in the middle of a claim. The state department of insurance sets standards for how long it takes for the insurance company to respond to a claim, and to issue payment once damage is verified. If they have stopped contact with you and have not given you a reason I would contact your state department of insurance and file a complaint.
There is no time set by law. The process takes as long as the insurance company says it takes.
It depends on each company's rules, but generally you are not time restricted to file a death claim. Sometimes it takes a while to find all the policy information, probate, etc. I know of a spouse of a deceased insured who called the insurance company to cancel the policy on her husband because she could not afford it anymore, since her husband had died two years prior and her income was very low. Of course, the insurance company sent in the claim paperwork and paid the claim!
Only if you have a prayer of getting the insurance company to assist you with the claim at all.
It is VERY important to have a professional roofing insurance resoration specialist inspect your roof first. This person will determine whether or not you have a claim.

The time it takes likely depends more on the company than your state. You need to have a copy of the death certificate to send to the company as well as proof that you are a beneficiary.
