Can a probate judge overturn the beneficiary of a life insurance policy?

I am the only beneficiary and paid for the funeral with the life insurance, in return it was refunded to me through the estate. My siblings are taking it to probate court and insisting that the life insurance was strictly for the funeral and should not have been paid back to me.
