No, it will go as part of the estate of the deceased (as set out in the will). If there is no will then the estate (including the life policy payout) will be handled by the state and distributed as required by your local state/country laws.Thus if the deceased had debts on death and the insurance beneficiary was NOT identified in the policy, the payout will go towards settling the debts first (after the funeral expenses).

If I have been paying non-tobacco user rates for the life of my insurance policy will I be covered if I am a tobacco user at time of death?
Yes, you will be covered if you bought your life insurance policy based on non-tobacco user rates and then started smoking after you bought the policy. Also, the carrier has two years after you purchase to contest the policy. After that period, you may be covered either way. However, some carriers may reduce the total payout by deducting the difference in preiums they would have charged for a smoker, from the policy coverage amount paid to your beneficiary. Also, if you die within 2 years of buying the policy, and said you didn't smoke, and the smoking was the cause of your death, that may be considered material misrepresentation, and the insurer may be able to dispute the payout of your policy.
If a life insurance policy loan is made and the insured person dies before it is repaid will the beneficiary receive cash value or death benefits?
Subject to the terms and conditions of the policy, the outstanding balance of the policy loan (plus accrued loan interest, the rate of which will be stated in the policy) will be deducted from the death benefit. The balance of the death benefit will be paid to the beneficiary.
