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.
Can a beneficiary be removed from an estate?
There are very limited ways that a beneficiary named in a will can be removed from receiving their share of the estate. If it is an ex-spouse, the divorce decree will often specify that any will made prior to that date will be null and void. A beneficiary can decline to receive an of an estate, sometimes done to increase someone else's share in the estate, such as a less well-to-do sibling, or even a parent.

Can you contest the life insurance beneficiary on payment of death benefits?
You can contest who the payment was made in a court of law, but that is not to say you can stop the Insurance company from paying the money to the chosen beneficiary on record. The reason why people choose their beneficiaries is to avoid a situation like the aforementioned question. To make the process run more smoothly designating a beneficiary is necessary, otherwise the proceeds from life insurance could potentially move into the probate arena (where no one really wants it to go). So yes you can fight it at court but the insurance company is required to pay the premiums to the selected beneficiary, assuming said beneficiary is of legal age (otherwise it could be held in escrow). A judge could say that the recipient must pay a portion to someone else but that generally will not occur since the life insurance contract is a legally binding one in which the former insured has previously determined where the money is to go by way of the beneficiary election.
Can you contest a will of an unmarried sibling who left the entire estate to a niece?
First, let's begin with the premise that a person has the right to choose their heir. Generally, you need legal grounds to contest a will. You need to prove the will is technically invalid under state law, that the testator didn't have the legal capacity to make a will or that the bequeast was made while the testator was a victim of undue influence. You need proof to support your claim and a will contest is expensive to pursue.

Can a sibling who is the executor of the parent's will add a third sibling into the final petition for distribution?
Yes, they can. In some cases they are required to, particularly if the third child was born after the will was made. If the other sibling objects, then there could be a problem. In most cases the court is going to approve it.
