 In Pinkley, the Alabama Supreme Court stated: 

Stated more narrowly, the question is whether a life insurer that receives a

change-of-beneficiary request form, regular on its face and executed by a person

purporting to be the owner of the policy, has a duty to investigate the authenticity

of the signature before paying death benefits under the policy to the person

designated on the form as the primary beneficiary. We answer that question in the

negative.

ORDER 

After the court recently filed a Memorandum Opinion concerning Speedway

SuperAmerica LLC’s Motion for Summary Judgment, the court has noted the case of Fortis

Benefits Ins. Co. v. Pinkley, 2005 WL 1793346 (Ala. January 29, 2005).1 Obviously, the issues

are not the same, but Pinkley carries with it a suggestion as to why Speedway SuperAmerica LLC

should not be considered to have acted unreasonably in this case.
