Life Insurance Benefit Dispute

In Wilson v. Northwestern Mut. Ins. Co., No. 09-1895, an action claiming that plaintiff was the beneficiary of two life insurance policies issued by defendant to her late husband, the court affirmed summary judgment for defendant-insurer in part, where there were no modifications, oral or otherwise, of the written terms of the Term Life Policy.  However, the court reversed in part where a reasonable jury could find that the retroactive refund by defendant was a self-serving afterthought, designed to reduce the length of the decedent’s policy coverage.
