You should seek guidance from the court where the probate was filed. A beneficiary cannot hold up the estate by refusing to sign something such as a final account. Generally, the court will allow you to publish a notice rather than obtain a signature.

When an automobile is left to an individual in a will is it still required to enter probate?

Yes it does go through the probate process unless ownership of title is in joint names with a right of survivorship as is allowed in some states. If title is in the sole name of the decedent it is an asset of the estate. Title to the automobile has to be transferred by the appropriate documents of sale the state requires when either selling or giving the car to another person. If the owner is deceased, only the executor or administrator may sign the transfer paperwork. This paperwork has to be done whether the auto is being sold out of the estate or given to a beneficiary.

What does an executor do if a beneficiary does not cash an estate check In this case the estate has been closed for six months?

The executor should contact the beneficiary to see if the check was ever received. If it was they should request it be cashed immediately. If not, depending on the type of check used, that executor should arrange for a replacement. It would seem that the checks were simply mailed out with no request for the beneficiary to sign any release. A signed release shows the funds were received.
