You should get the advisor who set up these policies to do this for you.
If your mother can't remember who this was, or has lost touch with him/her, then get in touch with me and I'll do for her for free.
You are correct in stating that a life policy in trust is not paid into the deceased's estate, thus not only avoiding IHT but also avoiding the need for probate. It will pay out on production of a death certificate.
