Investopedia explains 'Revocable Beneficiary'
A revocable beneficiary on a policy is usually the best course of action, as it allows you to change the beneficiary on the policy should certain circumstances change. It is harder to change the beneficiary on an irrevocable policy because it requires the consent of the current beneficiary.
