Probate records are public. Anyone can request the file and read through to see how the estate was distributed.
Legal heirs are individuals who are entitled to inherit the assets and property of a deceased person according to the laws of inheritance in their jurisdiction. The specific legal heirs can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the specific circumstances, but generally, they include the spouse, children, parents, and other close relatives of the deceased.
There is no problem if the debts of the estate have been paid and the executor is the sole heir. However, if there are other heirs who want to sell the property and take their share of the proceeds the executor must buy out the interests of the other heirs. Otherwise, the heirs are entitled to a sale of the property and can file a petition for partition if the executor will not act.

Normally, the insured's appointed Nominee is entitled to receive the benefits or money upon his death. However, if there are other legal heirs, the money is to be distributed among them by the nominee as per law of the land.
It sounds like what you received was your portion of an inheritance. If that is the situation, based on the facts given, there is no reportable tax occurrence. For inheritances, if what is inherited would have been taxable to the deceased, an IRA for example, then it's taxable to the heirs. Ans Money is fungible...that is indeterminable from each other.
