United States Fifth Circuit
First Colony Life Ins. Co. v. Sanford, 07-60482
Summary judgment for the insurance company, finding that defendant is not owed a $100,000 death benefit because he did not have an insurable interest in the minor who lived with him for the last year of his life, was improper because there is a factual dispute as to whether defendant stood in loco parentis to the minor.
