Yes. That beneficiary's portion should have been deposited with the court or in an interest bearing bank account. It should be waiting for him. There are many reasons a beneficiary may not be able to be found at the time of a probate of an estate. That's no reason to squander their inheritance. He would have a cause of action against the executor if his inheritance was not accounted for.
