Martin was the - Page 463 beneficiary of a group life and health policy which had been provided for her husband, Daniel Martin by his employer, Montana Bank of Butte, N.A. After Daniel Martins death, the insurer, Crown Life, paid Louise C. Martin the $44,000 life insurance benefit described in the master policy. She brought this action believing she was entitled to the $104,000 life insurance benefit set out in Daniel Martins individual certificate of insurance. Both sides moved for summary judgment. In addition to granting summary judgment in favor of Louise C. Martin for the $60,000 difference, with interest from January 29, 1979; the trial court awarded attorney fees to Louise C. Martin of 33 1/3 percent of the total recovery plus interest from the date of judgment. Crown Life appeals both the summary judgment and the award of attorney fees.
