Not at all, its actually quite easy. First of all you would need to consult your insurance company and do it pretty much the same way as they guide you. I'm sure that you'd need to fill up a form offered by the insurer. Regards, Fatman.

Hi, In your case, there could also be another possibility. There could be a change in the conditions thereby allowing someone to pose as the beneficiary. Thanks, Mercedes L. Valverde.

You can def change the benificiary and it is usually just a form that you need to complete and sign, as mentioned above you will have to contact your agent that wrote the policy or the company and they will provide an agent to you.

As for your second question, no the benificiary does not have to be a relative. It can be anyone at this point if the policy is already in force.

It really only matters when the policy is being written and issued as to who is listed as the beni.... there is more to this but I think in your case as long as the policy has been in force you can list who ever.

My husbands Aunt died and named three nieces and one nephew as a beneficiary! She had an earlier will with different names on it!
It was changed because the others never kept in contact with her. My sister in-law is contesting because she was not named in the new will. Can she legally do this? The Aunt was of sound mind and was not swayed when she did this.

Anyone can contest anything they want. Winning the contest is a different matter. Life insurance is a "non-probate" asset, so whatever is stated in a will has little or no effect on life insurance proceeds unless they are payable to the estate of the decedent.

Being named the benefactor in a will is not the same as being named the beneficiary of a life insurance policy.
