Yep, it can happen. So only choice left is to show your will to your lawyer to use it in court to get back your rightful share. This has nothing to do with the bank. The bank doesn't know of the existence of the beneficiary. So is now beneficiary vs trustee in court.
I think you can also call the bank to freeze the money saying that you have a will and you are going to court soon to apply to takeover the money and ask the bank to freeze the money so the other person cannot withdraw it..

Your questions very contradictory. So has the money been taken out? If haven't freeze it. If yes sue the trustee.
The technical details I'm not sure so I better not mislead you
This case that I write about have not happen yet but maybe happening soon..

Oh I see. Then faster inform the bank of the will and existence of the beneficiary asap. Try calling, if they need documents etc to prove go to the bank personally. Lawyer is last resort since it's very expensive.
If the mother not deceased yet, ask the mother to leave instruction to freeze account after she has deceased.
