They can, but it is not a good practice for a multitude of reasons. It should be treated like an escrow account, at the very least. It should be deposited so that the real beneficiaries are named as principles on the account, or held in trust for them. A strict paper trail accounting should be set up.

If the lawyer is to hold the account in trust, then the will should state how it will be handled. For example, a relative who is seen as a spendthrift may be left money to be used in specific circumstances.

What is Advance Premium Deposit in Insurance Company?

An Advance Premium Deposit account is a feature of a policy offered by a Life Insurance company. Think of it as a savings account, where you're free to put in money and take out money. Your life insurance premium will automatically be paid from that account, so that's one less hassle you have to worry about. You get interest on your money, so that's nice. Often you're only allowed to deposit up to the sum of all future premiums.
