You should most certainly direct your question to your attorney. He or she may have good reason to make the suggestion to you. Ask your attorney.

Wrongful Death Attorney in Rogers, AR.
No, it is not standard. Under Arkansas law proceeds from a wrongful death settlement do not become an asset of the decedent's estate and pass directly to the statutory beneficiaries. There is usually no reason to delay distribution. Sounds strange to me.
