Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

It depends on the beneficiary of the policy. If the beneficiary is the estate, then yes they can. If the beneficiary is another person then no, it goes to that person and can't be touched... The creditors will contact family members to tryvandpay the bill but the estate is solely responsible for debt unless there are some joint debt...

That depends upon who the money from the policy is to go to. If it goes to the estate yes. If not than No.
