More details to this question:
My Mother wanted all her grandchildren to be beneficiaries of her bank account but died before she could add her newest grandson who was only months old at the time. Can he still be added or recognized as a beneficiary?

No. She cannot name him as a beneficiary because she is dead. That does not stop his fellow grandchildren from gifting him to make sure he, too, receives a share of the bank account as a remembrance of his grandmother.
