Is there other information in the beneficiary designation that points to you (such as an address, date of birth, social security number, etc as most life insurance policies require a social security number of any potential beneficiaries. This may aid you in showing that the mistake was one of the insurer's doing.

You may also be told that the proceeds can only be paid to the estate. If this is the case and if the proceeds are large enough you are going to have to hire a lawyer to go through probate proceedings.
