No, the insurance money goes to the beneficiary named in the policy. If the beneficiary is not named, or the estate is named, it will go into probate.

Is life insurance considered part of an estate?
Generally, no. So long as a beneficiary is designated the Policy does not need to be and should not be included as part of an estate. The Policy proceeds or "death benefit" is the property of the named beneficiary, they are not the property of the deceased and therefore not a part of the decedents estate. Only when the Insured failed to designate a beneficiary or no eligible beneficiary is available would the Life Insurance Policy proceeds revert to the named insured and then be included in the Estate.If the policy was owned by someone other than the deceased, the insurance proceeds will not be part of the estate.Since estate taxes (when applicable) can be as high as 55% and the claims of creditors can take an entire estate, it is very important to consult an experienced lawyer prior buying any life insurance policy to ensure that the proceeds go to the heirs and not to pay taxes or the deceased's creditors.
