Best Answer

Only the owner of the policy may access the cash. Only the named beneficiaries may receive the death proceeds. This is not to say that a spouse would not go after a cash value in a divorce. I am not sure what the legal issues would be at that point...but a new spouse? How could she have any claim? Best solution...Form a trust, the trust becomes the owner...not an issue any more. Helps for those larger estates too.

When a homeowner dies is the house still covered or do you have to get new coverage?

Any time the owner of an insurance policy dies, a new policy must be issued. The owner/beneficiary must have a vested financial interest in the potential loss. Otherwise you could take out a policy on your neighbor's life or home. In the case of marital property, the surviving spouse usually only needs to have the title of the policy changed if her or she was a co-owner of both the insured property and the insurance policy.
