Ordinarily, no.
The insurance policy designates the identity of the beneficiaries (the recipients of proceeds). The owner of the policy (usually the person insured) may change the beneficiary(ies) at any time prior to his/her death upon notification in writing to the insurance company. The person(s) designated as beneficiary at the time of death is/are the rightful recipients of proceeds, and absent a separate, lawful contract with another sibling, there need be no sharing.
That said, if there is no beneficiary named on the policy, or if the named beneficiary is "the estate of" the deceased, the proceeds generally will be paid by the insurer to the estate. In that event, they pass, with any other property, according to the Last Will and Testament of the deceased. If the deceased left no Will, the proceeds and other property will pass to heirs under the laws of descent and distribution of the State in which the deceased was domiciled at the time of his/her death. To that extent, there is a "sharing" of the proceeds.

How does the insurance company calculate the amount of premium to refund when a policy is cancelled?
Insurance premiums are calculated for the year. If you cancel your policy refunds are usually issued retroactively. So if you cancel your insurance 6 months into your policy, you wil be refunded for the remaining 6 months. It is usually calculated to a daily value, so you will get a refund for the remaining days left in the year. However, it is up to the insurance compant on what their refund policy is. Some companies will have a cancelation policy of 1 months cost of insurance if you cancel your policy. Most companies however have no fee.
