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.
In fact, term insurance policies can be called no risk no fault insurance, as no claim is payable during the tenure of the policy and only in the event of death of the policy holder, claim is payable to the nominated person of the policy.
Most life insurance policies have a two year contestability period. If death occurs by suicide within the first two years, the claim would not be valid and would not be paid. If the contestability period has expired, the claim should be paid as any other cause of death would.
Sunlife Insurance offer a number of policies. They offer life insurance policies as well as funeral planning policies to enable one to leave money to loved one's after death.

Insurance policies may be categorized into 2 sectors:- Life Insurance and General Insurance. In life insurance, claims arise during maturity and death, when the Insurance Cos are to make payment. In General insurance falls medical insurance, fire & burglary, Professional indemnity,car insurance, Householders policy,shop keepers policy and so on. In medical insurance, when a person is hospitalized for treatment of illness/disease and stay for minimum 24 hours, either he can avail cash less system or claim under reimbursement. In the rest policies, when a fire or burglary occurs or so on, the claim has to be established with proper documentation supported by surveyor's report for consideration of the claim by Insurance Company, where they are policy bound to make payment.
Yes, Mostly... If the death is by suicide then, Insurance companies do not settle death claim, but in most other cases they do.
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.

Universal Life Insurance Policies work by giving death benefits when one dies. Unlike other life insurance policies, universal life insurance policies generate interest over time.
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.

In most cases a claim for accidental death benefits will be denied if the cause of death is listed as unknown. A person can submit an insurance claim and appeal if it is denied.
