    Life Insurance can be paid out in a lump sum, or it can be paid out in payments, or a combination of the two. If the life insurance proceeds are paid to the beneficiary over time, the insurance company pays interest on the portion that they have in their possession.

    Actually, on most all life insurance policies, benefits can be paid at the request of the beneficiary in a lump sum or over a payment plan agreed upon by the primary beneficiary. Even though the insurance company will pay a fair interest rate on the money held back for future payments, it usually is better to take the lump sum option and work with your advisor on a more suited distribution plan.
