Summary: Defendant Eileen Goodiron filed a motion for summary judgment, contending that she is entitled to her late husband’s life insurance proceeds as the widow and beneficiary named under the policy. Defendant Nathan P. Goodiron filed a motion for summary judgment, contending that he is entitled to the life insurance proceeds as the principal beneficiary. The Court granted Eileen Goodiron’s motion for summary judgment and denied Nathan P. Goodiron’s motion for summary judgment, finding that Nathan P. Goodiron’s beneficiary status under the policy fails and, therefore, Eileen Goodiron takes as the contingent beneficiary.
