RECORD WITH STONEBRIDGE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.

MS PHILLIPS MAINTAINS THE OPINION THAT, THE ALL THREE DOCUMENTS
SIGNED BY DARLENE TRAINOR ARE VALID AND ACCEPTABLE.

SEVERAL AREAS OF THE FORM WERE DISCUSSED:

THE SIGNAUTURES WERE REVIEWED BY JUDGE BENCH AND IT WAS
DETERMINED THAT ALL SIGNATURES WERE THE SAME AND ACCEPTED
BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY.

ENFORCED.


IN THIS CASE, MR. YURIK CLAIMED THAT THE BENEIFICARY DOCUMENTS
HAD BEEN FORGED. JUDGE BENCH REVIEWED THE DOCUMENTS THAT
WERE PROVIDED INTO EVIDENCE TO THE COURT. JUDGE BENCH
QUESTIONED THE PLANTIFF AND THE DEFENDANT. (THE DOCUMENTS
THAT WERE PROVIDED TO JUDGE BENCH HAVE BEEN ATTACHED TO THIS
DOCUMENT)

AFTER REVIEW OF THE DOCUMENTS JUDGE BENCH RULED THAT THE
SIGNAURES AND THE HANDWRITING ON ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS WERE
IN FACT DARLENE TRAINOR'S AND THERE WAS NOT FORGED
SIGNATURES. AT THAT TIME JUDGE BENCH RULED THAT THE LAST
