I would imagine that they need you mum's banking details in order to pay the proceeds into her account.

I can't imagine why they would need the will though, unless it is to check that you mum is the beneficiary and your dad didn't leave all his money to the local cats home.

They should have told you what they want the bank details for.

Whether they really need the will depends on the nature of the policy. Some of these policies are written in trust for a named beneficiary, & if that was the case I would see no reason for them wanting it. If it's not the case, then CC's answer is the reason. Incidentally, I assume they asked for the death certificate?
