I received a refund check in my partner’s name yesterday for the old policy, do I have the ability to cash this check?

Tough one; you might be able to get the insurance company to reissue the check in your name. Theoretically you should re-open probate, but the court fees are probably more than the refund.

Is there anything legal that can be done if the executor won't change their mind?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
Very tough issue. This is one of those areas where the personal representatives would have a fairly wide degree of discretion. You can complain to the probate court if you feel there is a breach of fiduciary duty, but this seems like an area where reasonable minds could easily differ. I would try to discuss this with them and see if there is some compromise you can agree on.

Contesting a Will/Trust

Yes, issues of whether your mother had the capacity to sign a will and trust, as well as whether your brother unduly influenced your mother to change her will and trust, are valid causes to challenge the validity of the will and trust.  You can bring the documents to an attorney to review and advise you of your next steps.
