Question

I was looking at the news on my phone and read a story about a lady who shot herself so the son could use the life insurance money to pay off house would this work. All i know in it was some where in Mass If you know any about this let me know

Answer 1

Anyone who had first hand information about it, like an agent or claims rep,  could go to jail for violating the privacy laws.

Many policies won't pay out for suicide, and none will pay out if they are less than two years old.  

Sadly, many suicides don't think about that.

Answer 2

I saw a post on a legal help site about some guy who killed himself thinking that his wife would get life insurance from his work.  But he did not realize that his company had changed insurance companies and the new policy was not in force long enough to cover suicide.  So he left her with nothing and she was trying to figure out what to do.

Answer 3

Life insurance policies don't work if it was a suicide. but that is a sad story.

Answer 4

This is truly very sad.
