Attorneys at Cozen O'Connor on Friday removed a lawsuit against the estate of Anna Zufelt to Pennsylvania Eastern District Court. The suit arises from an underlying lawsuit by the estate to recover life insurance proceeds awarded to plaintiff VC 3 LS 2021 LP under a stranger-originated life insurance policy (STOLI). The plaintiff seeks a declaration that the policy is valid and that the estate is not entitled to recover the proceeds. The complaint was filed by K&L Gates and Schulte Roth & Zabel. The case is 2:23-cv-02227, VC 3 LS 2021 L.P. v. Howey.
