In most cases, the beneficiary has no specific responsibility to do something with a life insurance payout. However, you should be careful to retain a portion of it to cover taxes that might result because of the income. Additionally, if the recipient of the proceeds gets it on behalf of another person (for example, a parent on behalf of a child), the recipient has a fiduciary duty to hold/use the funds in trust and for the best interests of the intended beneficiary.
