If you are getting a check and a K-1, then it is likely that the estate did not pay any tax that may have been due on the liquidation of the account.
A K-1 (1041) reports items of income (gain), deductions, and credits. As a result, if the estate had paid the tax due on the liquidation of the account (and there were no final deductions), then you would most likely just be receiving a check for your share of the assets (which is now cash).
