Life insurance proceeds must accrue entirely to the policyholder's estate rather than being split between both parents

A taxpayer inquired whether life insurance proceeds, for which premiums were paid using community property funds, should be split between the estate of her father (the last insured) and that of her mother (who predeceased him).
