Child Support
In addition, life insurance proceeds can be designated for a certain purpose, including a spousal or child support obligation. Like death benefit proceeds that support a minor child or beneficiary with special needs, death benefits with a directed purpose are best handled through the establishment of a trust.

Your case will receive personal care and attention — a service of lasting value. We have a reputation for success in even the most serious injury cases. We also stand up for the rights of families that have lost loved ones due to wrongful death.
Fraud
Life insurance companies decide whether to issue a policy and how much to charge based on the information the insured provides. Not providing accurate information constitutes a material misrepresentation—and insurance fraud—that can allow an insurer to rescind coverage.
Murder
Murder, like suicide, is generally not excluded from life insurance coverage. However, if a beneficiary murders the insured, they will not receive the death benefit; it passes instead to contingent beneficiaries.
