yes. unless the will state otherwise
With life insurance, it does not matter if there is or is not a will, because life insurance proceeds are paid directly to the named beneficiary and not to the estate. The named beneficiary obtains a certified death certificate and submits it to the insurance company with the appropriate application form provided by the insurance company. The estate has no rights to the proceeds and would not even be paid to the estate. The only way the estate would be involved is if all named beneficiaries had predeceased the decedent or if the policy names the estate as the beneficiary. In that case, one of the heirs as defined in that state's laws would apply to be the administrator (if there is no will) or executor (if there is a will) and receive the proceeds.
If the property was part of the estate then the proceeds are also part of the estate.
Possibly. First, if the policy states that the proceeds go to a specific named beneficiary, then the executor has no authority at all over it. In fact the executor has no right to even collect it for that beneficiary. Second, if the policy is payable to the estate, then the proceeds are to be distributed according to the terms of the will, not his own choices. Sometimes insurance is payable to an estate if the decedent names his estate as the beneficiary (highly unlikely) or if the named beneficiaries hav predeceased and there is no one left to receive the proceeds (it does happen but rarely).
The amount of money you will receive from the sale of your house after the proceeds are split depends on various factors such as the selling price, any outstanding mortgage balance, closing costs, and any other fees or expenses. It is important to consult with a real estate agent or financial advisor to get a more accurate estimate of the final amount you will receive.
