Who has the right to change the beneficiary on a life policy?
The policyholder, or the person who owns the life insurance policy, has the right to change the beneficiary. This can typically be done by submitting a written request to the insurance company, depending on the policy's terms. If the policyholder has designated an irrevocable beneficiary, however, they may need that beneficiary’s consent to make any changes. It's essential for policyholders to understand their policy's specific provisions regarding beneficiaries.
Can a person be executor and beneficiary of insurance policy and sole right to the insurance money?
Yes. Insurance proceeds, unless the beneficiary is the estate, are payable directly to the person who is named as the beneficiary beneficiary. As such, the policy proceeds pass "outside" of the estate and do not become a part of it. If the same person who is the named beneficiary of the policy is also the executor of the estate, he/she is required to carry out the directives of the Will. This includes paying legal debts of the deceased, ensuring protection of the value of the assets of the estate, and distributing the assets as directed in the Will.
Who is the beneficiary in a life insurance contract?
The beneficiary is the person to receive the coverage amount when the person covered by the policy dies. In the first instance, the beneficiary is named by the applicant when application for the insurance policy is made. Unless the beneficiary designation is made irrevocable, the insured is free to change the beneficiary at any time until his/her death. Unless some provision of law or contract renders the designation of beneficiary irrevocable, the beneficiary does not have a right to remain as beneficiary and ordinarily cannot contest a subsequent change.

Your late husband did not update beneficiary on life insurance Is there anything you can do?
The Insurance company is only obligated to the original contract with all the principal parties assigned. I think there is nothing you could do unless, you could prove in a court of law, he was not in the right frame of mind, when he made the beneficiary decision.
Can you sue the insurance agents for giving you the wrong advice on changing beneficiary?
The beneficiary of a life insurance policy is solely up to the policy holder. It's not very likely that the insurance agent would give advise other than to inform the policy holder that they have the right to designate any person they wish as their beneficiary. Although you could certainly sue almost anyone for almost anything, Winning the suit is another matter.

How do you contact Insurance Companies to tell them that you might be a beneficiary?

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).
