Can a life insurance company change the beneficiary?
The only person who can materially change an insurance policy (including beneficiary changes) is the OWNER of the policy, who may or may not be the INSURED. The company does not have right to make a beneficiary change under federal law. In any case, beneficiary disputes are not uncommon. Finding the original policy will not solve this sort of dispute, since the beneficiary designation may have been changed after issue and will not be evident on the original. The insurance company may have acted upon a legitimate request to change the beneficiary, and if so they will (must) have a copy of that change form, signed by the owner's. (A copy of that change was probably sent to the policy owner at the time of the change, but it may have been lost).
If a beneficiary in your will dies before you what happens?
It will depend on how the will was written. Depending on the wording, it may go to the beneficiary's heirs, or it may be divided up between the other beneficiaries of the original will. If the testator is aware of the death of a beneficiary they should amend their will. If they don't, then see the information in the related question link provided below.

No one other than the owner of the account can change the POD beneficiary. However, there is a conceivable possibility that a person with a sole account naming a POD beneficiary later added a joint owner to that account. Upon the death of the original owner that account would become the sole property of the surviving joint owner who could then change the POD beneficiary.

Your late husband did not update beneficiary on life insurance Is there anything you can do?
The Insurance company is only obligated to the original contract with all the principal parties assigned. I think there is nothing you could do unless, you could prove in a court of law, he was not in the right frame of mind, when he made the beneficiary decision.
