Normally you just get a change form from your insurance company and fill in the things you want to change, submit it to the company for processing. After it is processed they will send you back a copy to add to your policy which then becomes part of your policy.

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).
How can you determine if you are a beneficiary of a life insurance policy?
The beneficiary of a life insurance policy is designated when the policy is taken out. After that the policy owner (usually the insured but now always) can change the beneficiary by completing a change of beneficiary form. The company processes the change then sends you an amendment showing the change. Normally you put this amendment with the policy as it becomes part of the policy. If the policy owner kept their records straight then you could look at the policy and see the latest amendment to find out who the current beneficiary is. If your not sure the policy is kept up to date you can contact the company and see who the latest beneficiary is on the policy.
