More than a letter - you would have to file a 'motion' with the court to continue the case with yourself in place of the original plaintiff. If the original petitioner died, the court would have to rule that you had legal "standing" to continue the case. If you do not have "standing" then the case dies along with the plaintiff.
In probate court, the petitioner is the individual who initiates the probate process by submitting a petition to the court. The petitioner is typically a family member, beneficiary, or executor of the deceased person's estate. Their role is to formally request the court to open the probate case, appoint a personal representative (executor or administrator), and oversee the distribution of the deceased person's assets according to the will or state law.
Nothing. The benefactor will have to find another beneficiary, unless it has already been accounted for.

You need to file a motion to withdraw your petition ASAP, or tell the judge that you wish to do so. You say you are only one step away from final decree, unfortunately it may already be too late to stop the onrushing train.
Yes. A secondary beneficiary only becomes beneficiary if the primary beneficiary dies before the insured. Say the insured and primary beneficiary are involved in a fatal auto accident but the insured dies an hour before the primary beneficiary. The insurance proceeds would not go to the secondary beneficiary but to the estate of the primary beneficiary. If the primary beneficiary dies an hour before the insured then the secondary beneficiary receives the proceeds. If an insured wants both to receive monies they can name more than one person as primary beneficiary and in what percentage for each person. They could also leave it to their estate and handle distribution by a will.
If the owner of the savings bonds has died, then the bonds are inherited by the beneficiary, unless the beneficiary has also died in which case the bonds go to the estate of the beneficiary. If you don't want the bonds to be inhertied by the named beneficiary or the estate of the beneficiary, I would like to know what legal basis you have for taking control of those bonds. We already know that you are neither the owner (who has died) nor the beneficiary. So what is your claim based upon? I doubt that you have any legal basis to change the benefciary.
The person who wants to be appointed the guardian needs to petition the court. If there is already a guardian they should join in the petition, requesting a termination of their own appointment. If the child is under the custody of parents they should consent.
An immigrant in the US can petition for his or her spouse who lives in a foreign country as long as he/ or she living in the US has already recieved their citizenship.
The only person that can change is has already passed away. It is too late to change the beneficiary. However, there may be a law in your jurisdiction that says that it has to be the spouse unless the spouse has signed off on the selection form.
I don't understand what you mean by ''he is a rider'', do you mean he is the named beneficiary? If so and he dies prior to you, you need to name another beneficiary, or perhaps you already have a 'second' or contingent beneficiary, in that case the money would be paid to this contengient if the primary beneficary is deceased.
