Life Insurance and EstatesNO, not if the named beneficiary is not deceased. The proceeds of a life insurance policy belong to the named beneficiary not to the deceased. It should not under any circumstances be included in the estate of a deceased or the probate process. If no beneficiary is named or if all beneficiaries are deceased then their is no alternative. When their is no named beneficiary then the value of the life insurance policy reverts to the insured and must then be included as part of the deceased estate
Yes, you can decline the benefit. Speak to the insurance company about how.
The life insurance benefit will be paid to the deceased's estate.
The policy proceeds will become part of the decedent's estate.
Not if there is a named beneficiary living. that makes it separate from theEstate of the deceased. example my mother recently passed away while she left a life insurance policy and stated me as the beneficiary, she also had one on me and she was the sole owner. Which makes that life insurance policy part of the estate since there was no other person who was named as owner hope that helps.
No, it does not. Life Insurance is a contract between the deceased and the insurance company. Unless the estate has been listed as the beneficiary, the will has no affect on the policy.
If the insurance policy owner did not specify a beneficiary or the beneficiary is deceased, then the life insurance proceeds go to the insured's estate.
only if there is no beneficiary named on the policy, or if the beneficiary(ies) deceased before the insured.
i trying to find out if my father who is deceased have a policy
You can only collect on the life insurance if you were awarded this at time of divorce. I was awarded the ability to take out a life insurance policy on my ex. as I receive a military retirement which only exists if he is alive. After his death, it would stop, therefore I have the life insurance policy.
Contact the insurance company for information on how to make your claim and ask if they can supply a copy of the policy.
In rare cases, a person will make a close friend or relative the beneficiary of their life insurance policy instead of their spouse.
