Description
On Petition to Transfer from the Second District. This cause comes to us on a petition to transfer from the Fourth District Court of Appeals. Appellant Dorothy Brand was plaintiff below. She was the wife of Bruce Brand, the insured, and brought the action for the $10,000 (ten thousand dollar) proceeds of a life insurance policy issued by appellee and defendant below, Monumental Life Insurance Company. Brand received an adverse judgment after a trial to the court and appealed that judgment, alleging that it was contrary to law and the evidence. It was Brand's contention that Monumental should have been estopped from asserting a forfeiture of policy benefits for non-payment of monthly premiums. This contention was based on Monumental's admitted practice of accepting premiums paid within sixty days after the end of a thirty-one (31) day grace period provided the insured was alive and apparently in good health. Brand tendered three monthly payments totalling $48.87, within the sixty-day period, but after the death of the insured, Bruce Brand. Monumental refused to accept the tender of payments and contended its actions were justified in that the condition for the extension, that the insured be alive and apparently in good health, was not met because Bruce Brand was not alive at the time of the tender.
