What happen if the beneficiary named on a life policy who was separated at the time of death wants the heir named on the will to receive that benefit?

In most cases, you can decline the payment, which will go into the estate and then to the beneficiaries of the estate. Consult with the insurance company and the executor of the estate to be sure that is what you want to happen.

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.
Who collects the life insurance if the policy holder and beneficiary have died?
If the beneficiary of a policy has died, the estate of the beneficiary can still collect the insurance payment, assuming that the beneficiary does have an heir or heirs of some kind (as most people do). Note that this is a fairly unusual situation, because normally when a beneficiary dies, a new beneficiary is named. There is no reason to allow the policy to have no living beneficiary, unless the insured and the beneficiary happen to die at about the same time, and there is no time to name a new beneficiary.

What happen when the insured on an ins policy dies without a will?
The proceeds of the insurance policy are not effected as long as there is a named beneficiary. If the estate is the beneficiary than the proceeds are subject to probate and taxation.
Can executor and beneficiary be the same?
Yes, that is often the case when a spouse dies. It saves the estate money.
Does the executor of will have the right to give out life ins payout?
Possibly. First, if the policy states that the proceeds go to a specific named beneficiary, then the executor has no authority at all over it. In fact the executor has no right to even collect it for that beneficiary. Second, if the policy is payable to the estate, then the proceeds are to be distributed according to the terms of the will, not his own choices. Sometimes insurance is payable to an estate if the decedent names his estate as the beneficiary (highly unlikely) or if the named beneficiaries hav predeceased and there is no one left to receive the proceeds (it does happen but rarely).

What will happen to your dad's 401k if he dies?
Your father should make certain he has named a beneficiary on the account. That way it will pass directly to the beneficiary. If he doesn't name a beneficiary it will pass to his estate and his estate will need probating. In the event of his death you should get expert advice on what to do with the account. You may want to keep it as your own 401K if possible.

What will happen if an annuity company close down?
It depends on the type of annuity and how your payouts are calculated. There are several different methods. You do have the option of naming a beneficiary on your annuity, and with certain types of payout options that beneficially could receive the money in your annuity when you die. Other options just pay out during your lifetime, and the payments stop when you die.
