As an owner of a life insurance policy can you change the beneficiary after the death of the insured?
Perhaps this question could be rephrased. The answer to the question as posed is: after the death of the insured, the policy becomes void, and the benefits payable. The simple answer is no, you as the owner can not change the beneficiary after the death of the insured (subject of insurance).
Does only the beneficiary have access to ones death life insurance policy?
NO. The beneficiary is only entitled to the death benefit proceeds when the insured dies. The owner of the life insurance policy controls the policy, the beneficiaries, any cash values, and is responsible for premium payments. The owner has the ultimate control of the life insurance policy and can change the beneficiary of the policy at any time...and does not need the beneficiary's permission to do this.

Your question is kind of vague but basically if you are the owner or beneficiary of the policy the insurance company will discuss the beneficiary with you.
