Section 30-3-112 - Insurance proceeds(a) At the time of the distribution under § 30-3-111, the court may direct the payment to the beneficiaries of any sums due and unpaid under any policies of insurance upon the life of the absentee, if the claim is uncontested by the insurer.(b) If the claim is contested the court shall take jurisdiction of the action and shall submit to a jury, if one be called for, the issue of death of the insured and any other issues arising under the policy.(c) Where the survival of a named beneficiary is not established this part shall apply as if the proceeds of the insurance were a part of the estate of the absentee.(d) If in any proceeding under subsections (a) and (b) the absentee is not found to be deceased and the policy provides for a surrender value, the beneficiary may request the receiver, acting for the insured, to demand the payment of surrender value. The receiver's receipt for such payment shall be a release to the insurer of all claims under the policy. The receiver shall pay over to the beneficiary (if surviving the insured, otherwise to the estate of the absentee) the sum thus received, reserving only an amount allowed by the court as costs of the proceedings under this section.Acts 1941, ch. 102, § 10; C.
