New York Life Faces Suit Over Record Requests

New York Life is facing a suit that involves questions about the kinds of documentation an insurer can ask policy beneficiaries to provide.

Fredric Paul Gallin, the representative for the estates of Herbert and Lucille Gallin, filed the suit in a state court in Somerset County, New Jersey, earlier this month.

Herbert Gallin, the owner of a professional engineering firm, died in 2010, and his wife died in 2022.

Fredric Gallin, their son, says in the complaint that he began trying earlier this year to redeem outstanding policies that New York Life and related companies sold to his parents.
