Is it illegal to benefit financially when there is a premeditated suicide?

Life insurance policies normally will contain a clause that disallows a payment if the cause of death is suicide within the first year of the policy, but if the policy has been in force for over a year, then the benefit is still paid even if the cause of death is suicide. You can legally collect that payment (if you are the beneficiary) even if you originally took out the policy knowing that the insured person was eventually going to commit suicide. However, if you in some way caused this person to commit suicide, that is another matter. To counsel suicide is considered a crime. So there are various legal issues depending upon the circumstances.
