Generally, when the named beneficiary is deceased and there is no contingent beneficiary named then the account will revert to the estate of the owner and pass as intestate property unless there was a will with a residuary clause.

No. When the decedent arranges for an account to pass to a named beneficiary on death the proceeds pass directly to the beneficiary upon the death of the decedent. Those proceeds are not a probate asset and this are not part of the probate estate.For computation of tax purposes, the proceeds are counted in the gross estate. However, most estates in the US do not reach the threshold for paying an estate tax.

If a mother had IRA CD and she past away can the daughter who is beneficiary break to CD to roll it over without bank penalties?
The IRA status is more significant than a CD Rollover status. The Beneficiary can transfer her deceased Mother's IRA into an IRA of her own whether the daughter has an existing IRA in her own name OR opens a new one in her own name. And she will owe no inheritance/estate tax doing so. But she must do this within 60 days from the date that the IRA passes to her as Beneficiary. The money must pass untouched (used) from the name of the Mother to the name of the Daughter, and the Fed allows a 60-day grace period for this to take place in order to maintain the non-taxable IRA status of the money. This is not a CD Rollover. It is an IRA Transfer. This would apply whether the Mother had her IRA money in mutual funds, CD or simple interest-bearing account. There would be no penalties, if the very simple IRA guidelines are followed.

Do named beneficiaries on wills overrride named beneficiaries on CD's and IRA's?
In general, the beneficiaries on the CDs and IRAs control over the will. This because the CD or IRA is an asset which by its own nature becomes the property of the named beneficiary. The asset is not the property of the decedent's and a decedent's will transfers only assets in the decedent's name. On the other hand, the rules might be a bit different when it comes to simple joint bank accounts as opposed to ones that have beneficiary designations. In some states, it is possible to challenge a surviving joint owner taking the account.
Are there Taxes on a beneficiary of a CD?
The interest earned on the CD is taxable to you in the state of Colorado. One way to avoid that is to withdraw the money from the certificate of deposit before any interest is earned. This may be subject to an early withdrawal penalty, check to see if the bank will waive the penalty since this is a payable on death account.

How can your sister and you contest a CD with your brother as sole beneficiary?
You cannot challenge an arrangement chosen by the then-living owner of the CD. He/she had the right to choose a beneficiary for that account. The CD is not a probate asset and is not part of his/her estate. For example, I recently arranged for my accounts at one bank to be payable on death to one of my relatives. No one has the right to challenge my choice. If you think the account owner was not capable of making that decision at the time then it is your responsibility to bring a court action at your own expense and provide enough evidence to convince a judge that you have a legitimate claim.
