My wife and I are considering purchasing life insurance but we aren’t sure if it is the best investment for the money involved. Advice would be helpful. We do plan on having a family in the next few years and our ages are 30 y/o and 29 y/o.

Does life insurance have to be used to pay the deceased debts?

If I am the beneficiary of life insurance payment after someone dies, do I have to by law use that money to pay off the deceased debts? Or is this something that the bill collectors cannot touch at least legally? How would the creditors even know that there was a payout of life insurance? Anyway for them to know this? Can I get in trouble for not paying?

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!
