Sheldon v. Kansas City Life Insurance Company

In The Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri
at Kansas City
Case No. 1916-CV26689

Sheldon v. Kansas City Life Insurance Company

 

If You Own or Owned a KC Life Century II VUL Life Insurance Policy issued in Missouri, a Class Action Lawsuit May Affect Your Rights.

A COURT AUTHORIZED THIS NOTICE.
THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FROM A LAWYER.
YOU ARE NOT BEING SUED.

  • A KC Life Century II VUL policy owner, J. Gregory Sheldon, sued KC Life over cost of insurance and expense charges deducted from policy owners’ contract values.
  • The Court has allowed the lawsuit to proceed as a class action on behalf of all current and former Missouri Century II VUL policy owners, subject to certain exclusions.
  • Trial commenced on September 18, 2023, and on September 21, 2023, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the Plaintiffs on their breach of contract claims against Kansas City Life and found damages in the amount of $4,095,897.75. It is expected that Kansas City Life will appeal after the conclusion of post-trial briefing and once a judgment is entered, but it is difficult to predict when the appellate court might decide the appeal.
  • If money or other benefits are obtained from KC Life, you will be notified about how those benefits will be distributed to you, if you have not excluded yourself from the lawsuit.
