The Insurance Court dismissed the insurer's request to revoke a pension granted to the mother of a deceased policyholder. Although the land was legally transferred to the son decades prior, the mother had continued to act as the de facto manager of the property. The court ruled that the insurer's failure to investigate these facts for over five years, despite receiving strong evidence, constituted a procedural error preventing the revocation.
