Re: a will versus a benificiary
The beneficiary designation takes precedence. The will controls only probate assets. Assets with designated beneficiaries pass by contract to the named beneficiary, and are not probate assets. Your husband's mother will receive the assets you describe unless the beneficiary is changed.
