Re: Beneficiary v. Executor
It depends upon how th e beneficiary designation was prepared on the insurance application. If the estate was named as the beneficiary the check will be forwarded to executor upon presentation of claim form. If an individual or more than one person were named as beneficiaries, then the check will be made out to the named beneficiaies. I will be happy to help you determine which is actually the case, if you contact me directly.
