The primary beneficiary receives the full payout if they are alive when the policyholder passes away. If the primary beneficiary is deceased, the contingent beneficiary receives the payout. The percentage distribution refers to how the payout is divided between the primary and contingent beneficiaries.

Does a secondary beneficiary only receive funds from a life insurance policy if the primary beneficiary has already passed?

Yes. A secondary beneficiary only becomes beneficiary if the primary beneficiary dies before the insured. Say the insured and primary beneficiary are involved in a fatal auto accident but the insured dies an hour before the primary beneficiary. The insurance proceeds would not go to the secondary beneficiary but to the estate of the primary beneficiary. If the primary beneficiary dies an hour before the insured then the secondary beneficiary receives the proceeds. If an insured wants both to receive monies they can name more than one person as primary beneficiary and in what percentage for each person. They could also leave it to their estate and handle distribution by a will.


Who has to pay federal estate tax?

The federal estate tax is paid by the estate of the decedent not by the individual beneficiaries. Of course, each share of the beneficiary will be reduced by the appropriate percentage of interest in the estate when time comes for distribution. So, the money eventually comes out of the pockets of each beneficiary.

Your husband has deceased and his insurance policy has his deceased mother and brother on the policy How can you get the policy to pay for his funeral?

If the brother was secondary or "contingent" beneficiary and listed as 100% then all the money will go to him, so he would have to help arrange it. If he is a partial beneficiary then he will still get his percentage, but the mothers percentage will go to her estate, or whoever inherited her estate. If this creates a problem, as his wife you might have a chance to go to court and replace the mother as the beneficiary, especially if there was a will stating that he wanted everything to go to you. But this just depends on the state laws usually. But most likely you will have to go through the brother as you have no legal rights to the money since you where not listed on the contract.
