Can a person be executor and beneficiary of insurance policy and sole right to the insurance money?

Yes. Insurance proceeds, unless the beneficiary is the estate, are payable directly to the person who is named as the beneficiary beneficiary. As such, the policy proceeds pass "outside" of the estate and do not become a part of it. If the same person who is the named beneficiary of the policy is also the executor of the estate, he/she is required to carry out the directives of the Will. This includes paying legal debts of the deceased, ensuring protection of the value of the assets of the estate, and distributing the assets as directed in the Will.


Can your sister who is listed as an executor along with you also as an executor try to have you removed as an executor on your mothers will?

Yes, she can petition the court to be the sole executor. If there is conflict, the court may very well appoint a third party, a bank or attorney, without a vested interest in the estate. This typically costs the estate money in the form of compensation to the executor.
