Can debtors collect from a deceased's life insurance policy?

I think you mean "creditors," those who are owed money. Debtors are the ones who owe the money. In Texas, the proceeds from life insurance policies are exempt if a dependent is named as the beneficiary. Otherwise, the funds are not exempt. Of course, the creditor must know about the policy to collect from it.


Can husband collect life insurance if wife dies unexpectedly?

If the husband was the named beneficiary of the policy, if the policy was in force at the time of death, and if the cause of death was not excluded by the policy, the general answer is "Yes". If the beneficiary was the estate of the wife, the proceeds are paid to the estate. Then, if the husband was a beneficiary of the estate (either by virtue of a Will naming him as beneficiary, or if no Will, through the laws of intestate succession), he may be entitled to all or a part of the insurance proceeds. If the beneficiary of the life insurance policy was someone other than the husband as of the time of the wife's death, proceeds are payable to that person.

Is life insurance part of an estate?

If the life insurance policy designates that payment is to be made to a beneficiary other than the deceased or to his/her estate, the proceeds pass outside of the estate and do not become an asset of it. Instead, all other things being equal, proceeds are payable to named beneficiaries. Note, though, that in order to collect, the beneficiaries must file a proof of claim and otherwise provide documentation that the insurer requires (such as a death certificate).

How do I collect on an insurance policy that is dated 1946. I have policy number and amount.?

If it is life insurance then most likely, yes. Contact the company. If the company no longer exists, their policies probably have been taken over by a different company. You might have to get your State insurance commissioner's office involved to find out who is responsible for paying the proceeds, but you should still be able to file a claim with the company.


What if the executor doesn't pay the beneficiaries of a life insurance policy?

The proceeds of a life insurance policy are paid directly to the beneficiaries without going into the estate of the person. The only way that life insurance proceeds become part of an estate is if the the beneficiary is listed as "Estate of the Insured". In this case any expenses of the estate are to be paid out before the heirs receive a share. If there are beneficiaries on the policy, the life insurance company will pay the beneficiaries directly.
