Vickie L. Bergen v. Travelers Insurance

The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of defendant Stephen Bergen, II ("Stephen Bergen"), son of the decedent and insured, awarding him 5/6 of his fathers $150,000 life insurance policy. Plaintiff Vickie Bergen, the decedents wife, appeals from the summary judgment claiming the decedents purported change of beneficiaries was ineffective, and also that genuine issues of material fact exist regarding the decedents competency at the time he purported to change the beneficiaries under the policy. We affirm in part, and reverse and remand for trial in part.
