In Georgia can an ex wife claim life insurance benefits of deceased ex husband if she is not named as beneficiary?
No. A divorce decree extinguishes any claims the parties have to each other's estates unless some other arrangement is specifically mentioned. If she is not listed as a beneficiary and the insurance proceeds were not made part of the separation agreement then she has no claim whatsoever.

In the state of Georgia if a spouse receives life insurance benefits is the surviving spouse responsible for the deceased spouse debt if surviving spouse's name is not on any of the debt owed?
In Georgia, as in most states, life insurance proceeds to a named beneficiary become the property of the beneficiary and are therefore not accessible to the creditors of the decedent. Of course, this does not apply to joint debt between the spouses or any debt solely in the name of the surviving spouse. In short, if the surviving spouse's name is not on the debt of the decedent, the surviving spouse has no legal obligation to pay such debt.

Life of Georgia was purchased by Jackson National Life Insurance Company. Life insurance companies do not go out of business, they always merge or are purchased by another company. Jackson National Life is a large and well respected insurance company and is one of the biggest especially with Independent Insurance Agencies. You can look up both of them on the internet. Life of Georgia has a website at lifeofgeorgia.com, and that's where I would go first. It should be relatively easy if you have the policy number and are the beneficiary.
