The suicide or not question is pretty important. Life insurance generally won't pay for suicide Actually it depends on the age of the policy. Most say if the policy is in force for x years its covered. What it doesn't cover is this, buy a policy and kill yourself. If i remember correctly its 2 years in force for suicide to be covered.

It's 2 years by state law in most (all?) states.

Suicide was illegal in pre-Revolution France.

The penalty was death.
