Max, your answer is obviously correct, but I'm not sure that she is asking what she means to be asking.

I have a feeling like she may be trying to change who gets the money from he life insurance.

Score for your answer: 0 (plus a red check mark for your typo)

Analysis:

Can I make a will and name someone else as a beneficiary?


As a teacher of English and an editor, I understand the word "beneficiary" in this compound sentence refers to both of the antecedents "will" [direct object] and "someone else" [direct object]. She is describing who she wants to mention in her will as receiving proceeds of that legal instrument.

Her next sentence confirms that reading:

I don't want this person to have the money from my life insurance



She can make a will [Yes], and she can name someone else [other than the life insurance beneficiary] as the beneficiary of the will [Yes] .

So, Max, as a teacher of English, you are able to be certain of what people mean they use poor English?

You may be correct here unless you aren't.
