What happens if a will states that a certain heir is to inherit all life policies but the beneficiary of the life-insurance policy is not the heir listed on the will?

The language of the insurance contract can't be altered by the will. If an insured passes away the benefits will go to the listed beneficiary regardless of what the will states. If there is no listed beneficiary (if they pre-deceased the insured for example) then the benefits would be paid into the deceased's estate and would be paid to whoever is named in the will. Please note that this then makes the otherwise tax free death benefit of the life insurance policy subject to estate taxes and would also be subject to the delay and expense of probate.
