In the event that someone dies, can their life insurance proceeds be directed a specific way if they leave a note of such wish? If not, what must be done to direct the proceeds of a life insurance settlement so that specific things be done. For example: paying a bill or buying a house for the beneficiary.

I would like to get life insurance on a male family member in poor healt. He has diabetes & heart trouble. Is it possible to get someone at that age insured for life insurance? I would like to get some true answers before asking an agent.

Eruvadhron “LOE” asked:


What exactly is life insurance and how does it work?

I don’t understand, won’t you be dead or something so what does it do for you?

What happens if it doesn’t get cashed in, what does that mean?

Sorry I don’t understand, please explain.

Sweetask asked:


What is the difference between accidental death insurance and regular life insurance? Which is a better buy? Wouldn’t all deaths (excluding illnesses) be accident? If you only buy life insurance and don’t include accidental death insurance then what is usually excluded? Thanks!!!
(I know its different for every insurance company, I am just wondering what generally the outcomes would be)

My Dad purchased whole life insurance through AXA Equitable which is all paid for. What happens if the life insurance company goes bankrupt or their assets are under water like so many other financial institutions these days? Will the benefits still be payable?

I also think it’s strange that he had to pay $700 more to this insurance company as an “adjustment”(?) recently even though the policy was fully paid for a long time ago. Is this normal?

LISA asked:


My husband and I are 28 years old, have three children and plan to have one more child in the near future. We live in Virginia (DC area). His annual earnings are about $70k; I also work part time earning annually about $35k. We currently have life insurance through our employers, but we want to get policies on our own. Can anyone recommend a good company to go with and a type of policy that we should get?
Also, should we get life insurance on our children? if so, what kind?
The goal that I want to accomplish with the life insurance is this. If my husband or I was to die, I would want my children to continue the same financial life that they would have had with both parents living. For this I am calculating that we need about a $2 million policy. After our children are grown, I would like for us to have a lower policy; just enough to cover the cost of bills and a little something to help the kids, I am thinking something around 200k.

My dad passed away in Nov. He had named beneficiaries on his life insurance at work. He has way more debt than assets, he will have a negative estate. Creditors are threatening that we should use the life insurance to pay the balances…are these just tactics they use? Should we be concerned that the money can somehow be taken? We live in Wisconsin. Thanks!
