When a CD is puttable upon the death of the holder, it means that the beneficiary or estate of the deceased holder has the option to redeem the CD early without penalty.
Money from a Payable on Death (POD) certificate of deposit (CD) typically does not go into the estate account, as it is designated to pass directly to the beneficiary upon the account holder's death. The beneficiary can claim the funds without going through probate, meaning they are not part of the estate's assets. However, if there are no designated beneficiaries or if the beneficiary predeceases the account holder, the funds may then be considered part of the estate and could be deposited into the estate account. Always consult with a legal professional for specific guidance related to individual circumstances.
Life insurance is not considered part of an estate and is not available to pay the decedent's bills and debts. Even if there is no money whatsoever to pay bills, the insurance is not part of the estate. The only exception would be if there were no existing named beneficiaries or if the policy is payable to the estate. But even there, keep in mind that it isn't the "insurance" money that is now available to pay the debts. It is "estate" money, because the proceeds were payable to the estate. The Federal government will include life insurance proceeds as part of the gross estate for federal estate tax purposes, but that does not mean they are actually part of the estate.
