What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan
I am listed as the beneficiary on some life insurance policies that my Uncle had. I have not collected anything or signed anything yet. My sisters say that the intentions of my Uncle was to split the proceeds with them. The will is split 6 ways, although the insurance policies are not mentioned. One sister just called and said there is a court order out that if I cash any checks, I will go to jail. I am not sure how to proceed. I know the executor is trying to get the money and put it as estate funds.
