Yes. The court appointed executor has the authority to settle the estate. That means the executor can endorse and cash any checks that come in after the death of the testator such as paychecks, tax refunds, commission checks, insurance refunds, etc. Those funds are collected and distributed after the debts of the estate have been paid. That is part of the executor's responsibilities.
