The owner of a life insurance policy has the right to choose the beneficiary. Another person has no power to change that choice.
The contingent beneficiary, if one was named.

No, an ex-spouse can't collect a deceased husbands insurance if the first wife is listed as beneficiary even if the fist wife is now deceased. The money will go to the beneficiary's heirs.
You can protest but the insurance company will pay the proceeds to the named beneficiary.
No, you can get him to change the beneficiary and then the money that is claimed will be yours if it has been changed by your husband to your name.
If the husband was the named beneficiary of the policy, if the policy was in force at the time of death, and if the cause of death was not excluded by the policy, the general answer is "Yes". If the beneficiary was the estate of the wife, the proceeds are paid to the estate. Then, if the husband was a beneficiary of the estate (either by virtue of a Will naming him as beneficiary, or if no Will, through the laws of intestate succession), he may be entitled to all or a part of the insurance proceeds. If the beneficiary of the life insurance policy was someone other than the husband as of the time of the wife's death, proceeds are payable to that person.
In order to ensure that a wife collects her deceased husband's insurance policy, it is beneficial to transfer the beneficiary of the policy while the husband is still alive. If the beneficiary of the policy is also deceased, it would be wise to seek legal help.
If the wife is not named as a beneficiary then she would have no claim on the policy proceeds.
Ddoubt it. Why not make her the beneficiary? for more info see www.steveshorr.com/life.htm and www.steveshorr.com/estate.planning.htm
If the estate is listed as the beneficiary of the policy, the executor is bound to follow the wishes of the deceased, in which case the proceeds would go to the "residuary legatee" if no other claim is made on it in the will. If the insurance policy names your brother's wife as the beneficiary, then it goes directly to her and is not part of the estate; in fact, if the beneficiary is not the estate, it should go directly to the beneficiary in any event.
No, you get to choose.
