Pure term life insurance. In this kind of policy, there is no cash value of the policy for the insured. The policy holder gets no tangible or monetary benefits as long as he/she is alive. Only the survivors of the insured can reap the benefits of this kind of policy. So, we can say that this type of policy has no cash value for the insured individual.
Upon the death of the insured, the person or persons selected as the receiver of benefits in the contract receives the benefits or money from a life insurance policy.
If no beneficiary is listed on a life insurance policy then the benefits are payable to the insured's estate. The beneficiary can be changed at any time prior to the death of the insured if this is the person's desire.

The main purpose of life insurance is to get life benefits at the insured's death, to be paid to the family or business, charity, trust, etc. However, there are many "living benefits" of life insurance, that may be paid if the insured survives an accident or illness, but is unable to work for a period of time. Other benefits are paid in a lump sum at first diagnosis of a covered illness: cancer, stroke, heart attack, Alzheimers, major burns, etc. These are optional riders that can be added to your life insurance policy.
Perhaps this question could be rephrased. The answer to the question as posed is: after the death of the insured, the policy becomes void, and the benefits payable. The simple answer is no, you as the owner can not change the beneficiary after the death of the insured (subject of insurance).
if life insurance policy passed the contestability period, benefits will be paid at insured's death.
Life insurance is a contract between an insurance policy holder and an insurer. The insurer promises to pay a designated beneficiary a sum of money or the benefits upon the death of the insured person. The main benefit for the policy owner is peace of mind knowing that the death of the insured person will not result in financial troubles for loved ones and lenders.
