You cannot "dispute' a beneficiary unless you have objections to the will on technical grounds, you think the will is a forgery, the testator was incapacitated when the will was executed or you think there was undue influence on the testator. In that case you must file an objection during the statutory objection period and be prepared to show evidence to the court that supports your claim. The judge will decide.
If you think that person shouldn't have been given that certain gift or that certain amount then you won't have any success in your objection. The court's focus is to carry out the wishes of the testator.

Does the bank notify you when your life insurance beneficiary is to receieve monies?
I'm not taking your question lightly, but if YOUR life insurance beneficiary is going to receive money, that means YOU died. Hence, since you would be gone, there would be nobody to notify. The insurance company has to be notified of your death. Your BENEFICIARY or policyowner or executor has to FILE A CLAIM to receive the death proceeds. The check is usually just sent to the beneficiary or beneficiaries. Sometimes things are a little more invovled when there are title questions, like a divorce, or dying intestate, or if the insurance company is notififed of a dispute in court over the ownership. If you're having a dispute, notify the insurnace company of the dispute and the person's death, so they can freeze issuing the proceeds to someone who may be last listed as the beneficieary, but the court finds in favor of another party.
Should heirs of an estate have a separate lawyer from the estate lawyer?
That is not generally necessary unless there are issues relating to the estate that are in dispute. Generally, all that is needed is an attorney to represent the estate. In the case of an objection or dispute, any other attorneys would be representing their clients. Therefore, a beneficiary doesn't need an attorney unless that beneficiary has an issue or objection that must be decided by the court, and where there is disagreement with the executor and how the estate attorney is handling the matter.
Can a named beneficiary on an accidental death insurance policy be disputed by the other beneficiaries?
Keep in mind that anyone can dispute anything almost anytime. The answer is yes, but the disputing beneficiaries would have to claim and prove the disputed beneficiary unduly influenced by that beneficiary to be added to the policy or that the insured made the change when he/she lacked the mental capacity to do so. There are other legal theories to be used in such a case as well.
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).

Can you dispute life insurance beneficiary?
Unless the policy specifies that the beneficiary designation is irrevocable, the owner of the policy, who is most often the insured, has the right to change the beneficiary of a life insurance policy at any time prior to death. That said, a third party may also contest the right of a beneficiary to policy proceeds by making a claim to them forms required by the company. In that case, there may end up being a contest between the competing claimants, such that the insurer would want to commence an "interpleader action" in a court of competent jurisdiction. The insurer would thereby ask the court to determine which of the claimants it should pay, and by so doing, try to avoid getting in the middle of the dispute. The court would hash out the rights of the parties to the proceeds, and the insurer would pay the winner.
