Not with a properly named beneficiary.
If the beneficiary is the owner can the life insurance policy be attached by a lien?
If the person is deceased than you now have the money. I guess it depends on what entity is putting a lien on. Certainly the IRS can do anything they wish. I don't think any other entity can put a lien on the money any more than they could your 401K or Savings account. If you are truly concerned you should check with your lawyer.
Beneficiary
No, the insurance money goes to the beneficiary named in the policy. If the beneficiary is not named, or the estate is named, it will go into probate.
No. That money belongs to the beneficiary of the policy.
In that case, the money will be kept deposited with the insurance company as unclaimed amount. In absence of the beneficiary, the insurance company can pay the money to the legal heir of the policy holder, but that has to be sufficiently proved in the Court of Law.
If the insured has died the proceeds from the insurance will be paid AS STATED IN THE POLICY. The proceeds of the claim are not part of the assets of the deceased's estate.
It would be possible to write an insurance policy that way if you wanted to, however, normally a life insurance policy pays a fixed amount of money (known as the death benefit) to a chosen beneficiary. If the beneficiary then wished to use that money to pay for a home, that could be done.
The claim proceeding net of outstanding policy loan balance including accumulated loan interest will be paid to the beneficiary.
A will does not normally change a life insurance policy. The policy is a contract between the insured to pay a beneficiary. If the policy leaves the money to the estate, the will then controls the dispensation.
The insurance proceeds would be part of their estate and would pass according to their will or by intestacy to their next-of-kin.
A beneficiary is the person who receives the benefit (usually money) from an insurance policy or a trust.
If you have been notified that you are a beneficiary of an insurance policy or will, you should contact the person who notified you to learn what to do next.
Life insurance with a beneficiary is completely separate from the "estate". If you receive life insurance, it's your. The estate includes bank accounts, homes, cars, etc. not the life insurance
