This is dependent on state law and if there are arrears allowing for a lien to be placed on the estate. The child will be getting SS Death benefits.
When the policy holder dies, the money goes to the beneficiary. If the beneficiary then dies, THEIR beneficiary then gets the money.
The only reason a beneficiary would add money to an estate would be if they owed money to the estate at the death of the deceased.
The contingent beneficiary, if one was named.
No, an ex-spouse can't collect a deceased husbands insurance if the first wife is listed as beneficiary even if the fist wife is now deceased. The money will go to the beneficiary's heirs.
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.
If there is a will, then the beneficiary gets the money. If there is no will all the children of the decedent get an equal share of the money.
In four ways and the share of the deceased child will be payable to the estate of the deceased child. If the right to take under the will has vested in a beneficiary, then the beneficiary's right to the inheritance cannot be taken away just because the inheritance has not been paid out.
If the life insurance has a named beneficiary then life insurance benefits are not subject to debtors claims. If there is no beneficiary or the "estate" of the deceased is the named beneficiary, then loan companies can come after the estate.
If the other parent is the sole beneficiary in the life insurance policy, no. Participate in the probate process and you might walk away with something. So sad that someone's child would sue their grieving parent. Only if there is some record that the deceased parent wanted the child to have part of the money. If nothing...the insurance company gives the money to the person that has been chosen as the beneficiary. That is all they are required by law to do.
Yes, that is often the case when a spouse dies. It saves the estate money.
most companies have a set period that they search for a beneficiary. if they arent found in that time frame (it can be years depending on the company) the money goes to the deceased's estate.
Typically the results will be that the money will be split in half, one part to the spouse, the other half to the children. Consult an attorney in your jurisdiction.
