The only person who can deal with the estate is the deceased's executor.
However, if the decedent arranged for an annuity to pass to a named beneficiary on death the proceeds pass directly to the beneficiary upon the death of the decedent. Those proceeds are not a probate asset and this are not part of the probate estate.
Annuities with designated beneficiaries typically avoid probate because they pass directly to the named beneficiaries upon the annuitant's death. This can help to expedite the transfer of assets and avoid lengthy legal processes. It's important to keep beneficiary designations up to date to ensure assets pass to the intended recipients.
Life insurance protects one's beneficiaries against financial loss as a result of the purchaser's dying too soon, while annuities protect purchasers against financial loss as a result of living longer than their funds do.

Can an executor of will change beneficiaries before or after death
An annuity is a right to receive amounts of money over a given fixed period, either in perpetuity or over the remaining life or lives of one or more of its beneficiaries.
No
Annuity death proceeds do not pass by will or state intestacy laws. Like life insurance, employer-sponsored retirement plans and IRAs, annuities pass to the beneficiaries named. If there is no named beneficiary, then proceeds, at death, will pass to the estate of the owner, (and would then pass by will).
A person can only die once. The property is valued at time of death. The only one the beneficiaries care about is the value at the time of the death of the person they are inheriting from.

To choose the beneficiaries to your life cover plan you need to consider who you want to benefit in the event of your death. Most people choose their spouse and children as their beneficiaries.
Surviving beneficiaries can collect life insurance by submitting a claim to the insurance company along with the required documentation, such as the death certificate of the policyholder. Once the claim is approved, the beneficiaries will receive the death benefit either as a lump sum or in installments, depending on the policy terms.
Three types of Insurance Annuities are variable annuities, fixed annuities and indexed annuities.
