   Best Answer – Chosen by Voters The executor CAN'T. He doesn't have the money. The executor only has the ESTATE money. He can only distribute according to the WILL. The INSURANCE company distributes, IF you're the named beneficiary on the policy. If you were a minor at the time of death, a TRUST was set up – talk to the trustee.And it's not common, that money gets released when you turn 18. 18 year olds are NOT penny wise. Most of the time, you'll have to be 21 or 25. IF there's a trust, AND it was directed to disburse at a certain age. Better go down to the probate court, and check the will.

   There are three possible scenarios:1. There is a trust that has the money. Contact the trustee.2. Your former guardian has it. Thank them for holding it in your name and ask them to give it to you.3. There was no money from a life policy.If you run into a brick wall, try contacting the insurance company directly, providing them with evidence of your identity, and tracking it down.

   Estate executors have nothing to do with life insurance proceeds. Were the proceeds paid to a trustee because you were under 18? Is that what you mean.
