Allison Baden-Clay's life insurance to go to trust

Murdered Queensland mother Allison Baden-Clay's life insurance payout will be held in a trust pending her husband's murder conviction appeal.

Ms Baden-Clay had two life insurance policies worth about $800,000.

The total will now be held in a trust, pending an appeal, before being awarded to his wife's family.

Last June, Gerard Baden-Clay was found guilty of murdering his wife in April 2012 and sentenced to life in prison.

He will not be eligible for parole until 2027.

His lawyers filed an appeal in July last year, claiming the verdict was unreasonable.

The body of Allison, a mother of three, was found on the bank of Kholo Creek at Anstead in the city's west 10 days after Baden-Clay reported her missing from their home in Brookfield.

Justice John Byrne said it was likely Baden-Clay had smothered his wife and scratch marks on his face were likely to be signs of a struggle.
