Once the cause of death is certified as a homicide, then an investigation of all beneficiaries and anyone else who would benefit from the death of the insured takes place. If the homicide is not based directly or indirectly on any of the beneficiaries of the policy, death benefit proceeds should be paid. If the beneficiaries when involved in the homicide, the claim more than likely would be denied.

Does life insurance pay if you’ve been murdered? Yes and No, If your beneficiary murdered you and it can be proven possibly not. Even that isn’t certain because it could go to the estate or contingent possibly too. This is a situation where there really isn’t one answer but instead a range of individual answers based on the information each situation provides.
