No, not unless the individual who is trying to collect the funds has some document that gives them the legal authority to act for the beneficiary. That document is most often a Power of Attorney. However, if the executor has the slightest doubt as to the authority of the person who is trying to collect the funds, she/he should insist on dealing with the beneficiary directly. Distributing funds to the wrong party would create liability on the part of the court appointed executor. You should consult with the attorney who is handling the estate.
