Schiller v. Royal Maccabbees Life Inurance Co

In Schiller v. Royal Maccabbees Life Inurance Co., 2000 PA Super 265, 759 A.2d 942 (Pa. Super. 2000), the Superior ordered Royal Maccabbees to deposit insurance monies with the prothonotary where the party to whom the proceeds were due was in dispute. Once it was determined the plaintiff was entitled to the insurance proceeds, Royal Maccabbees refused to pay interest on the monies from the date of the filing of the complaint to the date of first payment of the proceeds. Relevantly, the Court noted Royal Maccabbees was not entitled to monies, its duty for payment having been triggered by the deaths of the insured.
