The life insurance payout is not taxable. There may be estate taxes though. The value of the life insurance policy might be in the estate. This can be confusing as some taxes apply and some don't. The interest earned may be income taxable, etc. If there are expenses they should be deducted and then the net amount split up.

Should the person who has ownership rights in an insurance policy and the insured be relatives?

The question does not really involve "should". The direct answer is "no". Using life insurance as an example, the owner of the policy is often the person who pays the premium. The insurance contract gives the owner various rights, such as to initially designate the beneficiary, change the beneficiary, pledge the policy as security for a loan, and other acts. The insured is the person whose life is, well, insured. Stated otherwise, this means that when the insured dies, the insurance company generally pays the death benefit to the beneficiary.

Beneficiary vs next of kin?

A relative who happens to be next-of-kin is not necessarily the same thing as a beneficiary. A Beneficiary is a person who receives something tangible. For example, a person named to receive something in a will is a beneficiary under such will. Similarly, a person named to receive the proceeds under an insurance proceeds is referred to as a beneficiary. Next of kin refers to the nearest blood relatives of a person who has died, including the surviving spouse. It may also be used to refer to anyone who would inherit part of the estate by the laws of descent and distribution. See related link below:

Can other relatives not in the immediate family change the beneficiary of a life insurance policy?

No, only the owner (generally the insured) of the insurance policy can make changes! This is not to say the he/she can not make the distant reletives beneficiaries, but the distant reletives can not change a thing, only the owner can. Where this is a legal binding contract, the named beneficiaries will be up-held if this was challenged in court. 4lifeguild

As far as I know, in Texas, the son is not responsible for the debts of the father. In other words, no one HAS to pay it off. But, the seller has the right to repossess the car. But, they can't make relatives or anyone pay for it. !
