There is enough money in life insurance that she should not need money from
a lawsuit.
Perhaps we should all have this discussion with our families.
And our insurance agents? Will policies pay out due to death while piloting an experimental aircraft? I've always assumed companies put in boiler-plate wording against that sort of thing.
I got lucky; when I got married & signed up for life ins 12 years ago, the underwriter hadn't thought to write in the flying exclusion.
You can ask your heirs not to sue anyone, but you can't stop your life insurance company, if you get killed.
They will 'subrigate' (sp?) to get their benefit payment back from any entity they perceive as a potential target.
I've got a friend who effectively cannot build a homebuilt because his (state agency) life ins won't pay off to their spouse if they die in it. Another friend, still in his MD residency, has quit flying because with a new wife & baby, life ins is either unavailable or prohibitively expensive if he flies even certified a/c.
Anyone read the exclusions in their homeowner's insurance policy lately? If it weren't for the mortgage requirements, you'd be better off without ins.
