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).
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.
