Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia

Cashing a life insurance check

I am executor of my father's will. The will has not gone to probate court yet. I have since learned that he had made me his beneficary for two life insurance policies. These checks are in my pocession, made out to me, but I don't know if I can cash them, until the will is probated.

He resided in Georgia.
