Generally, no. Life insurance proceeds are paid directly to the beneficiary of the policy, if that person is living at the time of the insured's death. If a contingent beneficiary is named, the proceeds are paid to him/her.
If the policy specifies that the proceeds are to be paid to the estate of the insured, or if none of the named beneficiaries are living upon the insured's death, proceeds will be paid to the estate. In that event, they become part of the Estate. If the law of the State in which the insured died requires a probate proceeding (usually depending upon the size of the estate), the life insurance proceeds would pass through the estate.
