If it is your sole account you should always name a beneficiary. The bank will assist you if you visit any branch. If no beneficiary was named the funds in the account become part of the owner's estate upon death. If the account is a joint account with the right of survivorship the full ownership will pass automatically to the surviving joint owner (who should then name a beneficiary through the bank).
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.
That depends on how the owner of the account has arranged the beneficiary designation. There may be a contingent beneficiary or the gift may lapse and become part of the testator's intestate estate. In that case it would pass to the heirs-at-law. That question should be asked when the beneficiary designation is arranged at the bank.

A will cannot insert a name or change the name of a beneficiary of a will. However, you can have an insurance policy made payable to the estate, then give the proceeds of the policy to a named beneficiary. Problem here is that the policy proceeds run through the estate and become subject to debts and administration expenses and perhaps taxes, whereas they would not be if a beneficiary were named in the policy.

There are several missing details in your question. Generally, a joint bank account passes automatically to the other joint owner when one owner dies. However, a joint bank account does not necessarily pass to the surviving joint account owner if the account was arranged as a joint account only for purposes of convenience; so the other joint holder could perform the banking and bill paying tasks for the primary account owner. In that case, even though it is listed as a joint account, it would become part of the estate and pass according to the terms of the will.However, there is another way a bank account can be set up to pass to a beneficiary on the death of the owner. If the owner executed a payable on death directive with the bank, the account will be paid over to the named beneficiary and bypass probate. Even if all the other assets of the testator are divided equally among the heirs in the will, a payable on death account would pass to the beneficiary named in the bank records. The existence of the arrangement at the bank is evidence the testator wanted that bank account to pass outside of probate.If you have any doubts you should discuss them with the attorney who is handling the estate.
