The executrix representing a plaintiff’s deceased husband's estate is suing Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc. and Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada, claiming a breach of contract.

Barbara Galante, wife to and executrix of the estate of John A. Galante, filed a complaint on Sept. 30 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against the defendants, reported Pennsylvania Record. Galante alleged that the two wrongly denied her claim for life insurance benefits.

Galante’s complaint argued that she, the plaintiff, suffered damages from being denied payment under a life insurance policy secured by her late husband. She holds the defendants responsible because they purportedly denied her benefits to which she has rights.

She seeks $431,720, as well as interest, court costs, and any other further relief the court could grant. Galente is represented by Roman J. Koropey of Lamb McErlane PC in Bryn Mawr.
