Funeral Expenses and costs are determined by the funeral home providing the services not by the probate process. Funeral expenses should be paid promptly and if agreed, reimbursed later.

They split it evenly unless the insurance policy specifies that the proceeds are to be divided among several beneficiaries in some other way.

The owner of the policy has the right to specify who gets how much.
What happens to proceeds of life insurance if there are no beneficiaries and no estate?
There may not be a specified beneficiary still living or even listed on a policy but there is alway an estate. Perhaps you mean they had no will. If the person died "intestate" meaning without a will, the laws of the state where they resided in specifies where the proceeds of an estate go to and how they are divided up. The court will appoint an administrator or executor to handle the assets of the estate. If you have a specified beneficiary your like insurance proceeds will actually bypass probate in most cases and will go directly to the specified beneficiary.

What is the verbiage used in a Per stirpes beneficiary designation?
It is a type of life insurance policy beneficiary designation in which the life insurance benefits are divided among a class of beneficiaries, typically the children of the insured. Best explanation is an example: An insured has two children, and each of those children have two kids. If his children are listed as equal primary beneficiaries, they split the proceeds 50/50. However, if one child predeceases the insured, the surviving child received 100% of the proceeds. If the bene designation is the insured's children per stirpes, they still split the proceeds 50/50 if both alive when the insured dies. However, if one child predeceases the insured, the surviving child only receives 50% of the proceeds and the children of the deceased child will each get 25%, splitting the 50% that was designated for their deceased parent.

How does an executor of a will administer the proceeds?
Usually there is a bank account set up by the Executor for the Estate of the deceased. Into this account all other bank accounts and savings can be added by the Executor as well as any death benefits payable, Tax credits or returns, etc., and proceeds of sale of the deceased person's house (if applicable). Once all expenses are paid out from the monies, IE cost of funeral, lawyer fees, Executor fees, loans, lines of credit, etc., the monies can be divided amongst the beneficiaries according to the provisions of the Last Will and Testament. This can be done by way of certified cheque, bank draft, money order, or cheque from the Estate account, etc., however the Executor deems appropriate. The beneficiaries are sometimes asked to sign releases after they've received their bequests and after all the monies are paid out, the duties of the Executor are complete.
