Your question leaves out too much information to answer. Who is the beneficiary of the policy? The beneficiary(ies) usually get the money unless a party(ies) file a contest to the policy. If the Estate is the beneficiary then the money goes "into the pot" so to speak and is split by the provisions of the Will or intestacy statute. If you can write back with more info then I may be able to answer the question more definitively.

The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
