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).
