Who collects the life insurance if the policy holder and beneficiary have died?
If the beneficiary of a policy has died, the estate of the beneficiary can still collect the insurance payment, assuming that the beneficiary does have an heir or heirs of some kind (as most people do). Note that this is a fairly unusual situation, because normally when a beneficiary dies, a new beneficiary is named. There is no reason to allow the policy to have no living beneficiary, unless the insured and the beneficiary happen to die at about the same time, and there is no time to name a new beneficiary.
What are the Michigan laws when a beneficiary dies before the policy holder?
I assume the policy holder is the insured? Has the insured died? If not, It is time to change beneficiaries. Seek out the help of your agent to make sure you choose a properly named beneficiary. If the insured has died, there would have been a contingent beneficiary. All you need to do is contact the claims department of the insureds insurance company. If you are not the policy owner or the beneficiary, you are going to be limited in what info you can obtain but you can initiate the claim. 4lifeguild
What if your fathers girlfriend leave the estate to the father but father dies before policy holder does the estate got to children of the father?
If the girlfriend is still alive then she can change her beneficiary. If she died and didn't change her beneficiary then you may have a claim if her estate went to your father. You should speak to an attorney. You refer to a "policy holder" in your question as well as an "estate". If the subject is a life insurance policy and your father was the beneficiary but was deceased when the insured died then be aware that the girlfriend probably named a contingent beneficiary on her policy.
