Wouldn't it be easier for Grandmother's to get a policy and make the child the beneficiary? If she qualifies of course.
DEADBEAT 'Dad' and paying his Life Insurance Policy ?

I have never seen a life policy in TN with an exclusion exclusion for death during the comission of a crime. Can't speak to other states.5. The cause of death was excluded by the policy
Life insurance policies typically have a two-year exclusionary period for suicide, so your beneficiary typically would receive whatever you paid in premiums, but not the policy's face value. So-called "suicide clauses" vary by insurer and are designed to discourage people from buying life insurance when contemplating suicide.
Another caveat: If you're killed while committing a crime, the claim might be denied.
And last, if you don't disclose to your insurer when you apply for a policy that you have a high-risk hobby, such as sky-diving or auto racing, and you die while doing it, your insurer may decline the claim.
What are the reasons a life insurance policy won't pay out?
Life insurance claim denials usually occur because of errors with the policy or a policy lapse. Keep your policy updated and accurate to avoid a denied claim.www.insurance.com

Good point. While the young petty criminal may be at a higher risk. Losing grandma may be a larger financial impact for the grandchild.

COURTS ?
IF he's brought to court through a Paternity Suit, can the courts force him to take a blood test ? (In FLA)

I had been told long ago life policies never pay on suicide, So I just want to clarify, the truth is they only don't pay during the contestable period but after suicide is payable?
Just want to be sure I understand correctly moving forward
Suicide is two years. After the two years are up you can Epstein yourself all you want.
The only real exceptions would be a company that post underwrites everything (think FE) and even those wind up paying.
Wow that is crazy,
But ill accept it,
I am sure some have taken advantage of this but they have worse problems now

Fluids? I am not positive. However, I believe so. I have written court ordered life from a divorce and for child support.
There are non medical policies up to a $million.
She may want to consider a policy w/ child rider on the daughter. If she may wind-up raising the grandchildren.

That is correct that suicide during the contestability period (typically two years) won't pay out. (Which is an important disclosure point for any policy replacements.)
