Yes, such a form can be requested. It identifies the SSN/TIN of the person receiving the proceeds from a death settlement.
The W-9 is not to be sent to the IRS. If you receive interest on the death settlement, you will receive a 1099-I that will refer only to the amount of interest you received. For example, if the death benefit was $ 10,000 and you received $100 in interest on that, you will receive a 1099-I for the $100 - taxes are not paid on the death benefit.

What if the life insurance is not mentioned in the Will?
If there is a named beneficiary on the policy the life insurance proceeds bypass probate and the beneficiary will receive the money. If none is named, the proceeds are paid over to the estate. If there is no Will, the proceeds will pass to the heirs at law according to the state laws of intestacy after the debts of the decedent have been paid. If the proceeds are paid over to the estate the debts of the decedent must be paid before any assets can be distributed to the heirs. You can check the laws of intestacy in your state at the related question link provided below.
How do you handle life insurance in an estate without a will?
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.
