It is totally illegal to have two insurance policies against same contract and same beneficiary. This is a serious contravention of law and in case any claim arises, the insured's claim will be summarily rejected and will be liable for explanation for such misrepresentation of facts.

Does a Will supersede A Life insurance beneficiary clause?
No, They are two separate legal documents with entirely different purposes. An insurance policy is a contract between the insured and the Insurance company.

Heirs in a will are designated inheritance of estate by the will. A will is not a contract, it is a document of assignment.

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.
If you are named beneficiary on an accident life insurance policy and your relationship to owner is listed as wife but never legally married are you still entitled to receive payment?
The Insurance company should ideally check the validity of the relationship (whether legal spouse) at the time of issuing the contract or at the time of naming the beneficiary. Again the basic essence of Insurance contract is the valid insurable interest. I presume the Insurance contract is binding on the insurance company and the surviving spouse need to be compensated with the benefit amount of the Insurance contract.
