That is one of the purposes of life insurance. The answer however is no, it would come out of the parents estate. If there is no estate than the gov could be SOL. BUT!!! It may behoove a child (depending on age) to settle the tab with all creditors and the IRS on behalf of the parent settling the estate with the insurance money rather than relying on a "fire sale" of the estate, and reaping the benefits of the estate at it's market value rather than a forced sale value....depending on the situation tho... 4lifeguild

What is the verbiage used in a Per stirpes beneficiary designation?
It is a type of life insurance policy beneficiary designation in which the life insurance benefits are divided among a class of beneficiaries, typically the children of the insured. Best explanation is an example: An insured has two children, and each of those children have two kids. If his children are listed as equal primary beneficiaries, they split the proceeds 50/50. However, if one child predeceases the insured, the surviving child received 100% of the proceeds. If the bene designation is the insured's children per stirpes, they still split the proceeds 50/50 if both alive when the insured dies. However, if one child predeceases the insured, the surviving child only receives 50% of the proceeds and the children of the deceased child will each get 25%, splitting the 50% that was designated for their deceased parent.
