The "Rights" of a beneficiary are normally outlined by the will in place, taken in conjunction with state laws. If there is no Will, then state law prevails as to the rights of the estates inheritors.

Answering "If mother in law is beneficiary on single grownup son life insurance policy does the mother have any rights?"

The executor has a duty to the estate to bring the best possible price for the liquidation of the assets. The executor will list the property for what it is worth, not what the beneficiary wants.
"Rights" may not be the appropriate term. A beneficiary has a "claim" to the estate, arising from their inclusion in the will. Anyway, to get to your question, a beneficiary should be given a copy of the will, so that they may view their entitlement, and the entitlement of all the other beneficiaries. Also, the Executor should contact you and inform you of their progress administrating the estate. As a beneficiary, you may have legal recourse if you do not think the Executor is administrating the estate correctly.
An irrevocable beneficiary is someone named in a life insurance policy or retirement account who cannot be removed or changed without their consent. This designation provides the beneficiary with guaranteed rights to any proceeds from the policy or account once the policyholder passes away. The policyholder cannot modify the beneficiary designation unilaterally once it is established as irrevocable.
