Absolutely not. And take note, no one is an executor until they have been appointed by a court. The will must be filed in probate and the court will appoint the executor. Once appointed the executor must settle the estate according to the provisions in the will and the state probate laws under the supervision of the probate court. Any executor who fails to perform their duties according to the will and the law can be sanctioned by the court.

As a trustee, you have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of the beneficiary. If delivering funds to a beneficiary in jail could result in harm to the beneficiary or undermine the purpose of the trust, you may have the right to refuse distribution. Depending on the terms of the trust and applicable laws, seeking legal advice before making a decision is advisable.


Can a trustee refuse to give disbursements to a beneficiary under a living person's trust?

No. The trustee only has the power granted in the document that created the trust. If the trust was drafted properly, there are provisions in the trust document for the removal of the trustee and for appointing a new trustee. If not, then the matter can be brought before a judge and the court can remove a trustee who is violating the terms of the trust.

Can a beneficiary collect life insurance benefits if they are accused of murder?

An accusation (for example, an indictment) will most certainly give a life insurer cause to investigate the death of an insured. However, the insurer is unlikely to fully deny the possibility of paying the accused until the resolution of formal charges. If the beneficiary is adjudicated guilty of the murder, it is likely that the insurer will refuse payment. The public policy reason behind this is that beneficiary should not be allowed to benefit from his/her own criminal act.
