Is life insurance considered part of an estate?
Generally, no. So long as a beneficiary is designated the Policy does not need to be and should not be included as part of an estate. The Policy proceeds or "death benefit" is the property of the named beneficiary, they are not the property of the deceased and therefore not a part of the decedents estate. Only when the Insured failed to designate a beneficiary or no eligible beneficiary is available would the Life Insurance Policy proceeds revert to the named insured and then be included in the Estate.If the policy was owned by someone other than the deceased, the insurance proceeds will not be part of the estate.Since estate taxes (when applicable) can be as high as 55% and the claims of creditors can take an entire estate, it is very important to consult an experienced lawyer prior buying any life insurance policy to ensure that the proceeds go to the heirs and not to pay taxes or the deceased's creditors.

You would need to find a buyer who is willing to honor the existing life estate.

Can a lien be put on a life estate for medical bills in nc?
You cannot place a lien on the real estate since the life estate provides only the right to the use and possession of the real estate during the life of the life tenant.If the rights under the life estate are transferred, those rights last only during the life of the original life tenant. The life tenancy is extinguished upon the death of the original life tenant. That makes a life estate difficult to sell and difficult to assign a value. It has value only to the extent that someone will pay for use of real estate during the life of the life tenant, for an uncertain period. There is not an active market for the sale of life estates.You should consult with an attorney in your area who can review your situation and explain your options.

The life estate is typically attached to the real property (the land/house) only. The goods in the house are distributed according to the will and normally, the expectation is that the person receiving the life estate has the goods in the house already. Example, mom gets a life estate in the house after dad dies. Mom inherits everything in the house from her husband and can do what she wishes with it, including sell it, unless the will specifies otherwise.
