If we leave things as they are w/ the life insurance, (her kids named benficiaries) would we be leaving them open to creditors trying to collect after their mothers death? By that I mean assets outside of their mothers estate.


That life insurance is not part of her estate since it has no cash value. It's not included and the creditors MAY come looking for it but it's been my experience that they have no legal grounds for capturing those assets.

I am not a legal or tax expert but I would get in touch with one.

Thanks for the imput guys. I figure we will have to sit down with a pro soon. They (mom and daughters) met with a lawyer on the subject a while back, basically didnt come out of it with anything other than the bank gets the house at the end.

It is if she named her estate the beneficiary.

If she named specific a individual(s) or trust as the beneficiary it will pass outside of probate and the creditors can not touch it.
