Usually, life insurance proceeds are free from federal taxes. If the beneficiary is an individual person/persons, the proceeds of a life isnurance policy are tax-free. If the beneficiary of a life insurance policy is the "Estate" of the insured person, the proceeds may be subject to estate taxes.

Also, the proceeds may be subject to federal estate taxation. If you own all or part of the life insurance policy at the time of your death, the proceeds may be included in your gross estate for federal estate tax purposes. Also, federal gift taxes and state inheritance taxes may apply to life insurance policy proceeds under certain circumstances.
No. As in all states, life insurance proceeds avoid probate and flow directly to named beneficiaries.
The proceeds of the insurance policy are not effected as long as there is a named beneficiary. If the estate is the beneficiary than the proceeds are subject to probate and taxation.
It depends. Life insurance proceeds are not subject to income taxes to the beneficiaries, at all. However, if the policy is owned by the deceased person, then those proceeds can become part of the estate and be taxed in that manner. If you want to avoid taxation, completely, make sure that the owner and beneficiaries are different than the subject of insurance. Hope this helps! MyInsuranceXpert

If the life insurance policy had listed as the beneficiary the spouse only then it is not considered part of the estate and is not subject to claims. If the beneficiary is the estate then it is subject to claims. The only problem with the spouse being the only beneficiary is if she was a party to the claims personally then perhaps she and the proceeds from the life insurance could be subject to these claims.
