BRYANT CLARK LAW, PLLC

Usually  life insurance proceeds go directly to the name beneficiaries and are not considered to be assets of the Estate. However, there are certain circumstances  when life insurance proceeds must go through probate.  Some example when insurance proceeds have to be probated in Mississippi  is when the insurance policy is payable to “your estate” or where, under many policies, the only named beneficiary dies before you.  Also, sometimes after a divorce people fail to change the beneficiary of their life insurance policies.  In Mississippi upon entry of the divorce judgment, such designations of the now-ex-spouse are no longer valid and the proceeds will be disperse to the estate.
