insurance money. They made a

made my mother the soul beneficiary

Re: worker's compensation check
Since you leave out many important details, a visit to a qualified estate lawyer is the first step. You do not explain how you somehow got legal authority to "make" anyone the sole beeficiary and executor of another person's estate. Benefciaries are determined by law, or a will -- not what a third party wants. You also fail to state the particulars about the beneficiaries of the insurance proceeds. If the estate is entitled to the money, what other debts need to be paid? Given these, and many more questions, we can't direct you as to what your mothe has to do to get money. See a lawyer and do things correctly.
