How do all beneficiaries on a life insurance policy split the money?
Micsor
They split it evenly unless the insurance policy specifies that the proceeds are to be divided among several beneficiaries in some other way. Sometimes a policy can be payable to a spouse and children, with the spouse getting one size share and the children dividing the rest among themselves. The owner of the policy has the right to specify who gets how much.

If a payment on whole life policy had not been paid on a 50000 policy in 3 years and cash value was 900 what would claim pay out?
To begin with, a life insurance policy can only be paid out if the company issuing it had been notified of the insured's death. Other times the company may know, but the beneficiaries could not be located or never submitted a claim form on the policy. Cash value is the amount the owner receives if the policy is surrendered. Face value is the amount that the beneficiary receives upon the death of the insured. Both cash and face values are decreased by any loan taken against the value of the policy - either a premium loan to pay the premium then due, or a cash loan taken by the policy owner. Presuming that the face value is $50,000, that would be the total amount paid to any one beneficiary or what would be split among several beneficiaries. If a loan was taken against the policy, then the loan plus interest would be calculated as of the date the insured died and that amount would be deducted from the face value before it is paid out to the beneficiary(ies). A side issue may be the delay in making the payment to the beneficiaries. Sometimes the police will require that, in the case of a suspicious death, that the insurance company delay in making a payment. Other times the delay may be due to the company not being notified or beneficiaries are not found or are uncooperative. If the company is found to be responsible for a delay in a death payment, then an individual State may require interest to be paid. However, if the beneficiaries can't be located or aren't cooperative, after a year or so the money is escheated to the State and any claim must be requested through it.

Insured which is me and beneficary Grandmother died who is entitled to the life insurance benefits?
If you are the insured and your beneficiary died, and you had a secondary beneficiary then the money would go to the secondary. If you had split beneficiaries, then her cut would get funneled to the other beneficiaries. If you didn't have split beneficiaries or secondary beneficiary, the money should go to your estate where your creditors would get first pickings. Therefore, I would get myself to the insurance company (phone, website, broker) and update that policy ASAP.
