Claiming Deceased person PPI

My late Mother claimed back PPI about 3 years ago. The company took a while to pay out & by the time they sent her a cheque in her name, she had been deceased for a few months. I still have this cheque, but have been told I have no claim to it even though her will names me as responsible for dealing with her finances & I handled her affairs following her passing. After tonight's MSE on ITV, believe I have been misled? if I have, what can I do?
Many thanks

    The executor of the estate can deal with the firm. The firm should reissue the money to the estate for distribution to the beneficiaries.
