Some have said yes and some have said no. It depends which state she resided in when she wrote it and if she is actually a citizen of the Bahamas, as it stands right now she "is" a citizen of the Bahama's and it was her last residence. But if she is found not to be a legal citizen of the Bahama's then where was her last known address and how long ago was it? (which state?)
I am not sure but if she wrote it in 2001 in California and made Daniel the beneficary and if they find that her last (or current) residence was/is in California and that she is not a legal citizen of the Bahama's then my understanding is Will is no good in California because Daniel is dead.
