I assume if there was no will, there was no trust. I also assume the beneficiary(s) on the policy are also deceased. The estate will go through probate. You will have to advise the court of your status as an heir and once the probate proceedings are completed, you will get your share of the life insurance proceeds.
Usually not. But it depends on the trust. But 99.9% of the time, no.
No, the beneficiary of a life insurance cannot be changed by the executor unless he's the owner of the policy. The proceeds of a life insurance policy, unless the benefciary of the policy is the estate, are not subject to any conditions of the will. It is outside of probate.
