No. Only the owner can choose the beneficiary. Once she's died no one else can make changes to the beneficiaries she elected to choose.
In Alabama, the parent would not be considered a wrongful death beneficiary of the adult child if there are no surviving spouse or children. In Nebraska, however, the parent could potentially be considered a wrongful death beneficiary if there are no surviving spouse or children. Each state has its own specific laws governing wrongful death claims.

The antonym of beneficiary is benefactor.
Lauren was the beneficiary of the 1,000,000 dollars that she won in the lottery.
A person who inherits a will is commonly referred to as a beneficiary.
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.
Part of the process of buying life insurance involves the designation of a beneficiary-the person(s) or entity(ies) that will receive the proceeds of the policy upon the insured's death. The beneficiary(ies) can be changed during the insured's lifetime, but as of the time of death, the designated beneficiary is entitled to the proceeds. If no beneficiary has been designated in the policy, proceeds are usually paid to the estate of the insured.
No. The contingency that triggers payment of a life insurance is the death of the named insured. That person could have changed the beneficiary designation prior to his/her death. Even if the policy had given the power to change the beneficiary to another person, the change would have had to be exercised before the named insured dies.

You will receive the death benefit unless your brother has changed the beneficiary. Regardless of marriage, divorce, life changes, etc; unless the insured contacts their insurance company and changes their beneficiary, the money will go to the specified beneficiary; FYI- your brother would not be required to notify you as current (or ex) beneficiary if he changed the policy. Also, many life insurance policies have a primary and a successor beneficiary; the successor is the person who would receive the benefit if something were to happen to both the insured and the primary beneficiary.
I think that you're refering to an "irrevocable" beneficiary. This means that the beneficiary designation can only be changed if both the policy holder (owner) AND the current beneficiary sign off on it.
Ownership cannot be changed after death. All rights and responsibilities of the owner of the policy end at death of the insured. At death, proceeds will be paid out to the beneficiary and if the method of payment was decided before death then payment is set as well. If payment method is not set then the beneficiary can decide how they want to received payment. There are many ways they can receive payment.
I don't think you can, unless you have proof that a will/trust is not authentic. These kinds of arrangements wouldn't be worth much if benericiaries could be changed after death. They exist to insure that the deceased's intentions will be carried out.
It is a department or an action. You die, your beneficiary calls the insurance claims department and places a death claim with them. Your beneficiary receives a death claim check.

This would be very tricky and probably involve legal issues. A "new form" found after death changing beneficiary would always bring about suspicions. Did the owner intend to change the policy or not? They did not complete the transaction by filing the change with the insurance carrier. It is my opinion that the court would rule in favor of the beneficiary currently listed on the policy at the time of death. You could never prove the intent of the policy owner to change the beneficiary if they did not file the change of beneficiary form which is a very easy process to do.
