Do life insurance companies ever pay off debt before giving the beneficiary the money?
No.
If you die and you still have outstanding loans can they take your life insurance to pay everything off?
Life insurance paid to your estate could possibly be used to pay off personal debt. However, if the life insurance is paid to a beneficiary, it is their money, not yours, so the beneficiary has no obligation to use the money to pay off your debt.
Life insurance policy bought before married is the spouse then named benefifiary?
Beneficiary unchanged.
Does the beneficiary of the life insurance policy have to turn over funds to the estate to pay debt?
I am not an expert but have been involved in my dad's estate. If you are a listed beneficiary on the life insurance policy, it is your money. Unless you are the spouse. Debt does not have to be paid by the beneficiaries. My dad's left over $30,000 in debt. He had a $30,000 life insurance policy that had named beneficiaries. We got the insurance policy and did not have to pay for the debt. Check your state's policy. Go to a free law clinic and verify this info. Good Luck!

Is life insurance considered inherited property that a credit card company can claim after the death of a mother for unpaid credit card debt?
Depends upon the State of your mother's residence, and the beneficiary of her insurance policy. If the beneficiary was her estate, they might be able to recover the debt; if an individual was the beneficiary, unless that person was a cosignor of the debt, it is not likely they have any recourse. Have you checked to see if your mother's account had debt cancellation coverage? Best of luck. Rjbeeg
