The U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals is considering two unrelated federal lawsuits dealing with the validity of life insurance policies sold to elderly Floridians and then later sold to third parties. The federal appellate court has asked this Court to determine which of two Florida laws controls the disputes. One statutory provision gives insurers two years to contest a policy. The other provision requires the existence of an “insurable interest” when a policy is created.
