Retirement Benefits after Death?NO. Retirement benefits cease once a person dies and therefore would not be part of an estate.

When a person Dies, they are no longer considered "Retired", They are after death considered "Expired".

Life insurance also is not part of an estate unless there is no named beneficiary. The proceeds of a life insurance policy belong to the beneficiary named on the policy, Not to the deceased nor to the deceased estate.

What branch offers the best benefits for a retirement plan?

I'm sorry if I don't fully understand your question. Assuming you meant "branch of the military": They are all they same in terms of retirement, along with other benefits (medical, life, dental). Since they are all run by the same government, they have the same benefits.

Can you draw as much money at 65 on Social Security retirement as on disability?

Social Security disability benefits are typically lower than retirement benefits because they are calculated on the basis of fewer years of income. When a disabled worker reaches full retirement age, his or her benefits automatically convert from disability to retirement income at the same rate. There is no windfall payment for disability.

Is life use and life estate the same?

No, life use and life estate are not the same. A life use is the right to use property for a specific purpose, while a life estate is an ownership interest in property that lasts for the life of the individual. Life use rights do not grant ownership of the property, whereas a life estate includes ownership rights during the individual's lifetime.

How does a life estate deed supersede a will?

If a person was granted a life estate in property and then the owner dies, the property remains subject to the life estate. Even if the decedent leaves the property to a different beneficiary in the will, the property passes subject to the life estate.


In Michigan if you are able to defer retirement benefits for one year can you do this in order to collect unemployment?

If you are referring to "defer retirement benefits" as meaning Social Security benefits, there is no need to defer the decision. As long as you can qualify for each of the benefits individually, you can collect both at the same time. They do not interfere with each other at all. Any other retirement programs would be handled by offsetting unemployment benefits by the employer paid portion of retirements on a weekly basis.


Is life insurance exempt from being claimed for bills in an estate?

STILL ONE OF THE GREATES BENEFITS AVAILABLE: Life insurance with a named beneficiary is paid outside the estate, directly to that beneficiary. It is not subject to any other claims by anyone involving the decedent. (It is also not taxed). Unfortunately, some people name themselves or their estate (which is the same) as the beneficiary. Then it simply becomes another asset of the estate to be taxed, and distributed after handling the claims against the estate.


Can you file for social security at age 62 and receive unemployment benefits in Ohio at the same time?

If you are eligible for social security retirement (and I think for your age group the eligible age is 65), go ahead and apply for it while you apply for unemployment at the same time. The unemployment will come in first, and receipt of it shouldn't affect your retirement benefits. You can earn as much as you want outside of retirement.
