What happens to proceeds of life insurance if there are no beneficiaries and no estate?
There may not be a specified beneficiary still living or even listed on a policy but there is alway an estate. Perhaps you mean they had no will. If the person died "intestate" meaning without a will, the laws of the state where they resided in specifies where the proceeds of an estate go to and how they are divided up. The court will appoint an administrator or executor to handle the assets of the estate. If you have a specified beneficiary your like insurance proceeds will actually bypass probate in most cases and will go directly to the specified beneficiary.

Who collects the life insurance if the policy holder and beneficiary have died?
If the beneficiary of a policy has died, the estate of the beneficiary can still collect the insurance payment, assuming that the beneficiary does have an heir or heirs of some kind (as most people do). Note that this is a fairly unusual situation, because normally when a beneficiary dies, a new beneficiary is named. There is no reason to allow the policy to have no living beneficiary, unless the insured and the beneficiary happen to die at about the same time, and there is no time to name a new beneficiary.
How long does it take to get beneficiary money from a will?
Probate can be a long process. At a minimum it will take about 4 months. There are some estates that are still open after decades of work.
If I'm the beneficiary of life insurance policies of my brother and who named me as beneficiary prior to his marriage and during his marriage do I still have legal rights to this life insurance?
You will receive the death benefit unless your brother has changed the beneficiary. Regardless of marriage, divorce, life changes, etc; unless the insured contacts their insurance company and changes their beneficiary, the money will go to the specified beneficiary; FYI- your brother would not be required to notify you as current (or ex) beneficiary if he changed the policy. Also, many life insurance policies have a primary and a successor beneficiary; the successor is the person who would receive the benefit if something were to happen to both the insured and the primary beneficiary.
