If beneficary dies before the insured does surviving spouse have rights?
If the beneficiary of a life insurance policy predeceases the insured, the insured should make arrangements to name a new beneficiary. If they do not, the policy proceeds will become part of their estate if they die without naming a new beneficiary. You should consult with the insurance company.

How do you handle life insurance in an estate without a will?
With life insurance, it does not matter if there is or is not a will, because life insurance proceeds are paid directly to the named beneficiary and not to the estate. The named beneficiary obtains a certified death certificate and submits it to the insurance company with the appropriate application form provided by the insurance company. The estate has no rights to the proceeds and would not even be paid to the estate. The only way the estate would be involved is if all named beneficiaries had predeceased the decedent or if the policy names the estate as the beneficiary. In that case, one of the heirs as defined in that state's laws would apply to be the administrator (if there is no will) or executor (if there is a will) and receive the proceeds.
If someone dies with 10K in credit card debt and no assets but has life insurance does the credit company get the insurance or does it go to the beneficiary?
Death benefits are generally not subject to attachment for creditor debt. States establish laws concerning property that is exempted from creditor seizure. Without knowing the state of residency it is not possible to be more specific. You can find out what property is exempt under the laws of the state where the person lives by searching "asset exemptions". (Example: Florida asset exemptions). In many states the proceeds of life insurance are not part of the estate because they are proceeds of a contract to pay a third-party beneficiary, which promise of payment vests upon the death of the insured, so the insured (and the estate) do not receive any benefit. Since the estate has no beneficial interest in the proceeds of the insurance, the creditors would have no claim for this money (unless, perhaps, a surviving community property spouse is the beneficiary).
Should a life insurance policy be placed within one's trust to avoid probate?
It is usually not necessary to put ownership of Life Insurance into your living trust. I normally recommend that the policy be kept outside the trust as the proceeds will pass without probate. Discuss the tax considerations of who should be the owner with a tax professional familiar with estate taxes. I normally recommend that your spouse (if married) be the principal beneficiary of the insurance with your living trust as the contingent or secondary beneficiary. This way, if your spouse precedes you in death, the policy will pay proceeds to the trust which will distribute the proceeds with the rest of your estate exactly as you have planned without probate.
How much is it to have a baby without health insurance?
It depends upon where you have the baby. Home birth is usually less expensive than in a hospital.
What happens to proceeds of life insurance if there are no beneficiaries and no estate?
There may not be a specified beneficiary still living or even listed on a policy but there is alway an estate. Perhaps you mean they had no will. If the person died "intestate" meaning without a will, the laws of the state where they resided in specifies where the proceeds of an estate go to and how they are divided up. The court will appoint an administrator or executor to handle the assets of the estate. If you have a specified beneficiary your like insurance proceeds will actually bypass probate in most cases and will go directly to the specified beneficiary.
