Well, if there is no nominee appointed or the nominee dies along with the policy holder, in that case the legal heir of the policy holder would be entitled to get the death benefits. The insurer is not bound to pay to any third party posing as claimant of the deceased,without valid proof or legally authenticated by the court of law.

Can anyone contest a life insurance if you are not listed as a beneficiary?

No, only the policy owner (usually the insured) can decide who the beneficiary is on a life insurance policy. Life insurance has nothing to do with a will or estate distribution after someone's death. That's why it is imperative to keep the beneficiary section updated constantly based on the life changes; too many people who get divorced forget to update their life insurance beneficiary on the policy and benefit may go to the ex-spouse. Life insurance companies are bound by the contract that is the life insurance policy to only pay the beneficiary specified on the policy. If all beneficiaries specified on the policy are deceased, then the benefit will be paid to insured's estate.
