Where will the proceeds from E's life insurance policy be directed to? The proceeds will be directed to F because he was the primary beneficiary at the time of E's death. When a life insurance policy is set up, you are able to name one or more people who are able to receive benefits from the policy, because the scenario above does not state anyone else was on the policy we have to assume it was just F. Therefor, F would receive full benefits from the policy.
