Can You Contest The Beneficiary Of Life Insurance? 
Yes the beneficiary can be contested with a very good lawyer . This is a very tough up hill battle . You almost have to prove some type of fraud or the beneficiary was changed after the policyholder was mentally incapacitated . Because life insurance proceeds are paid directly to the beneficiary they do not move through probate and there is no judge to oversee it . My suggestion would be to find out the beneficiary prior to death if possible . It is much easier for the policyholder to make that change than a judge .
