Best Answer

The policy would not be subject to seizure during the person's lifetime and it Could not be used to pay tax arrearages if there is a beneficiary named at the time of the insured death. If the issue concerns tax owed by a deceased and a death benefit received by the deceased's spouse who was a joint filer, then the surviving spouse would be liable for said tax arrearages.
