Does life insurance have to be used to pay the deceased debts?

pc asked:


If I am the beneficiary of life insurance payment after someone dies, do I have to by law use that money to pay off the deceased debts? Or is this something that the bill collectors cannot touch at least legally? How would the creditors even know that there was a payout of life insurance? Anyway for them to know this? Can I get in trouble for not paying?
