Debts are paid by the estate assets, not by life insurance. The debts will go unpaid if there are no assets. If there are some assets but not enough to go around, then some debts will be paid first, then others according to local statutes. If there is aninsufficient amount of money to pay any one class of creditors in full, then they will be paid a proportionate share.
