if the owner of a life insurance policy dies and the policy is on her son. What happens to the ppolicy and is it part of the estate.
If the owner of an insurance policy is deceased then is should be listed as an asset when it comes to distribution. If the insured dies, then any value would be passed on to any listed beneficiaries.
The policy holder has the choice to change the name of the beneficiary at any time, including after the death of a named beneficiary. If the policy holder doesn't change the name of the beneficiary after the beneficiaries death, depending on what state you live in it goes to next of kin.
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.
When the policy holder dies, his nominated person gets the proceeds in the form of sum assured plus accumulated bonus, loyalty addition if any from the insurance company where from the policy was bought by the policy holder.
when a policy holder dies within the two years of policy it is considered as a early death claim
T sum assured divided by multiply no for ex... 100000 / 30=3333
It goes to the estate
Generally, an auto insurance policy does not automatically cancel upon the policyholders death.The policy will typically continue to provide coverage to the executors of the policyholder's estate until the end of the policy term.
Usually the payout happens within 2-4 weeks from the date of claim by the next of kin. When a policy holder dies, the nominee of the policy has to submit paper-work to the insurance company along with proof of relationship and death of the policy holder. Once everything is completed, money would reach the beneficiary in around 2 to 4 weeks.
Change of ownership is not allowed in life insurance policy. Once the policy holder dies, accrued sum is payable to the nominee and the matter ends there. In that case, you are to take policy afresh.
The loan must be paid out of the estate (sell of home, life insurance policy, etc...) Otherwise, the estate will be held up in litigation and will not be closed or the beneficiaries will be forced to pay the loan.
