Not with a properly named beneficiary.

If the beneficiary is the owner can the life insurance policy be attached by a lien?

If the person is deceased than you now have the money. I guess it depends on what entity is putting a lien on. Certainly the IRS can do anything they wish. I don't think any other entity can put a lien on the money any more than they could your 401K or Savings account. If you are truly concerned you should check with your lawyer.

Yes. If the insured has died and the proceeds have not yet been paid over to the beneficiary. You need to act quickly and should consult with an attorney who is familiar with debt collection.
