If you are the named beneficiary of their life policies you do. You can call and ask the insurance companies who the beneficiary is and they will tell you that much. I presume your question had to do with claiming the death proceeds as income. If so, the answer is NO! Life insurance proceeds are received income tax free.

Can children sue their parents if they are deceased?

Yes they can, indirectly, such as in a case of wrongful death where the deceased parents killed others by the same actions which resulted in their own deaths. In other words, the accident or incident that killed the parents also killed a child or other person, and there is reason to think that the parents committed an act of negligence that resulted in the death of others. However, you would not be suing the parents, but making a claim against their insurance. But if the insurance refuses to pay, then you would sue the insurance company. Anyway, the children would not be suing the parents, but their parents' insurance or their parents' estate.

Does an insurance policy pay accidental death benefits is death is caused by murder?

It depends. AD&D policies are very restrictive in their payouts. If the deceased had alcohol above the legal limit of any type of narcotics in their system at the time of death, then the claim will likely be denied. If not, then the claim should pay. I work for the Center for Life insurance Disputes if you would like to discuss in more detail or get our representation.
