Insolvent estate...is the vivacity insurance locked?
My mother recently died of brain cancer. It has be agonizing. Her estate is a mess. It is totally insolvent. I told my family she was slipping and not a soul believe me and resented me. I took care of my mother for 2 years until she needed 24 hour care. My sister took carefulness of my mother at her home 24/7 for 10 months until she painfully passed. Now my sister (the wife of an MD and me a single mother) within 24 hours have her attorney mail me a copy of my mother's will. I do not know where partly the items have gone and keeps asking for money for my mother's insolvent estate.
The energy insurance didn't have a beneficiary named. My mother assured me she did it, but close to many other things they were not completed. The existence insurance states first spouse, then children, then parents, afterwards siblings and finally estate in order of survivals. My mother have no husband so it goes to the children. My concern is that the little bit of money I helped my mother hand down for us, would somehow be taking to help pay for her insolvent estate. Is that possible?
Answers:
If the policy truly did not own a stated beneficiary, then you'd have a problem. Life insurance benefits bypass probate, and are immune to creditors, but if nearby is no beneficiary, the money goes into the estate and can be claimed by creditors.
According to your statement, it appears that beneficiaries have be designated based on relation and priority. However, your explanation of how the funds are dispersed is vague, and I'm not sure how near would be a remainder given to the estate. Why wouldn't all intended heirs receive a proportional share of the entire passing benefit? It doesn't make sense to me.
Added: Okay; makes more sense very soon. There are default heirs surrounded by the event of no named beneficiary. It would appear that as long as your mother had any survivors, her estate and its creditors would receive nought from the policy. You should be fine. Source(s): Financial planner, 11 years
Bummer. With no beneficiary named, the estate will most likely be the beneficiary - the duration insurance will have to go compensate all her debts before any can be in motion to anyone else.
I've never heard of a policy that tells you how it get distributed. Usually the estate is the default beneficiary.
If someone BESIDES her estate is paid, next the money becomes theirs, and cannot be attached by her creditors.
