Why does compensation and insurance paid to dependents due to death not form part of the inheritance?

Here are the answers to your questions: 1) Why does compensation and insurance paid to dependents due to death not form part of the inheritance? Compensation and insurance paid to dependents due to death generally do not form part of the deceased's inheritance because these payments are typically made directly to the designated beneficiaries based on a contractual agreement (e.g., an insurance policy). They are not considered assets of the deceased's estate that would be subject to probate or distributed according to general inheritance laws, unless specifically stated otherwise in the policy or by law in the absence of a named beneficiary. The partially visible text at the top of the image also indicates that in certain cases, such payments "shall not form part of the inheritance." 2) If the beneficiary of life insurance is not specified, Commercial Code Art. 701 states that the heirs, spouse, or husband are designated as beneficiaries. Does the spouse or husband receive it as part of the common property (marital property)? Or do they share it as an heir? Is it governed by pension law? Or is it governed by commercial law? According to the ruling in Dh/IJ/MMWF Vol. 10 L.G. 44561, when the beneficiary of a life insurance agreement is not mentioned, the deceased's spouse or husband must share the money with the heirs. This distribution is understood from Commercial Code Arts. 705, 701(1)(a) and Civil Code Art. 827. Therefore, it is governed by commercial law and civil law, and the spouse/husband receives a share alongside other heirs, rather than it being solely considered common marital property or governed by pension law. 3 done, 2 left today.
