Once you give the ownership of the life insurance policy to someone else, the policy is THEIRS. Only the owner can change the beneficiary, and you can’t take the policy back again, if you change your mind.
No. it’s now HER policy. He cannot change the beneficiary.
If you’ve assigned your rights to a 3rd party, the only way to change beneficiaries is if the 3rd party agrees in writing.

The owner of the policy has the right to designate the beneficiary.
No.
Yes, you can sell your life insurance to a 3rd party. Once it’s sold, you can’t change the beneficiaries as that would freeze out the 3rd party.
