In New Jersey, creditors can seek to collect debts from a deceased person's estate, but they cannot pursue the deceased individual personally. The estate must go through probate, where the executor or administrator will settle debts using the estate's assets before distributing any remaining funds to heirs. If the estate lacks sufficient assets to cover debts, creditors may not be able to collect anything further. It's important for the executor to notify creditors and manage claims appropriately during the probate process.

Can debtors collect from a deceased's life insurance policy?

I think you mean "creditors," those who are owed money. Debtors are the ones who owe the money. In Texas, the proceeds from life insurance policies are exempt if a dependent is named as the beneficiary. Otherwise, the funds are not exempt. Of course, the creditor must know about the policy to collect from it.
