First Colony Life Insurance has asked the town of Snowflake, Arizona, to return money that the Insurance Company claims it was incorrectly paid ten years ago. In 2005, the town of Snowflake was the beneficiary of a bequest $73,446.60 that the insurance company paid out. The insurance company now claims that the town should not have been a beneficiary and wants the money returned. The town council voted unanimously to table the issue while the town attorney, Robert Hall, acquires more information to ascertain why the town was incorrectly listed as a beneficiary.
