Best Answer

It will state on the life insurance policy the name of the person or persons who are to receive the death benefit. Since a life insurance contract is a legal document, the insurance company is required to carry it out exactly as stated in the policy. The money may be argued over from that point, but the will cannot dictate where the money from a life insurance policy goes.
