In fact, this is how most wills are set up. They pay out a percentage of the estate. For example, if the estate was worth $100,000.00 and a beneficiary was to receive 15% of the estate, they would receive $15,000.00.
Unless specified otherwise in the will, an executor is entitled to compensation for their work. Anything they inherit is a separate accounting.
Under UK Law: The trustee's must authorise the release of the property to the beneficiary(s) The beneficiaries under certain trust law can demand the property of the trust, but the trust deed must state a legal 'absolute' entitlement to that property. If the beneficiary has an absolute right to that property and has attained the stated age at which he or she should receive that property then the trustee's must authorise the payment to the beneficiary. IF it is a discretionary trust then you are only a 'potential' beneficiary and have no legal right to demand the property

Anybody mentioned in the will is entitled to receive money from a will.
Let's examine your question and look for the answer in the legal terms you used to ask it. An 'heir' is a person who is entitled under the laws of intestacy to receive an intestate decedent's property. A decedent is a person who has died. Therefore a person to whom you would be considered a legal heir would need to die in order for you to be classified as their heir. 'Heir' is sometimes used informally to describe a beneficiary under a will. Despite the fact that a person is named a beneficiary under a will they do not become a beneficiary until the testator has died and the will has been probated. 'Estate' has two common meanings: all the property a living person owns both real and personal, and, all the property that a person leaves after death. You have no right to the property of a living person and you don't become an heir until they have died.
Residuary beneficiaries have the right to receive any leftover assets in the estate after specific gifts and debts have been distributed. They also have the right to information about the estate administration and accounting. Additionally, they have the right to challenge the actions of the executor if they believe their interests are not being properly represented.
