Robert, Jeffs father, had kept a term life insurance policy for 10 years. When it came time to renew his policy, he found a universal life insurance plan offered by the same insurance company better suited his needs and requirement. After doing some investigation, he decided to switch the term life insurance policy to the universal life insurance policy provided by the same insurance company. He paid the premiums and kept the policy in force. One year after the switch, he committed suicide. Jeff got all of his father's affairs in order and discovered the universal life insurance policy. Jeff, as the beneficiary, approached the insurance company for the insurance claim for the death benefit.
