Naming one's estate as the life insurance beneficiary can be disadvantageous because the proceeds may then be:

a.Subjected to probate and exposed to the deceased's creditors
b.Paid out faster than they would be to a named individual beneficiary
c.Received entirely free of both income tax and estate tax
d.Automatically doubled by the insurer at the insured's death

Explicación

Directing proceeds to the estate pulls them into probate, where they can be delayed and reached by creditors. A named beneficiary generally avoids probate; the estate route does not speed payment or increase the benefit.
