The will can say that, however, it may not be enforceable if the Uncle does not want to pay it. It would be better to name the estate as the beneficiary with the Uncle to receive the proceeds in the will AFTER payment of the funeral expenses. Your grandfather must use the insurance companies' change of beneficiary form to make it enforceable. If you would like to discuss this matter in more detail please contact me.
