How do you prove you are the executor of estate and need to cash an insurance refund check?

When you were appointed the executor the court issued "Letters Testamentary" in your name. That is your legal authority to represent the estate and sign any checks made payable to the estate or to the decedent. You should bring a copy to the bank where the decedent had their account and speak to the manager about cashing the check. The bank may put a hold on the funds until the check clears. Once you are certain there will be no more checks issued to the estate you can then close the account.
If the decedent had no bank account then you should seek advice from the attorney who is handling the estate. If you do not have "letters Testamentary" then you are not the duly appointed executor and have no right nor authority to cash the check.

Why didn't insurance company write the check to the estate they wrote it personally to the executor of the estate what does that mean The check can't go into an estate acct So what now?
Insurance companies make mistakes quite often. First, verify that you are not the named beneficiary on record with the insurance company. Second, ask the bank if the check can be deposited into the estate account if you haven't done that already. Make sure you have a copy of your Letters Testamentary as proof of your authority as executor. If that doesn't work then you will need to return the check and ask that the check be made payable to the estate. You should call the insurance company first to determine what their procedure is and to obtain the name of a representative who will help you obtain a replacement check ASAP.

Who pays hospital bills of the deceased father are the beneficiaries of the life insurance responsible?
The estate or actually the executor of the estate is responsible for medical and other expenses as part of the distribution of the estate. After all debts have been paid from the proceeds of liquidation of the estate only then can funds be distributed to beneficiaries. The executor of the estate and beneficiaries of the estate need not pay anything out of their own pocket if the estate cannot pay for the entire bill. But if the expenses are not paid the hospital will certainly come after the estate and any monies that were distributed. Check the terms of the life insurance. If payment is assigned directly to the beneficiaries you may not need disburse funds to the hospital. On the other hand, if the life insurance goes to the estate, the hospital must be paid first if you don't want to end up in court.
Does there have to be an estate open to receive the insurance check ?
If you are looking to recieve the insurance check and are wondering if you have to have an estate open in order to receive it your answer is here. The thing is you do not have to have an estate open to receive an insurance check if you are a critical thinker. You need one way or another to get the insurance check, so if you have a P.O. Box that is set up or maybe a friend that you can have it mailed to, there is no reason you won't receive the insurance check.
