Insurance — life insurance — marital property

Sheryl Bruskiewicz appeals a summary judgment dismissing her claim to recover a portion of life insurance proceeds paid to Amber Bruskiewicz following the death of James Bruskiewicz. Amber, who is James’s adult daughter from a previous marriage, was named the sole beneficiary of James’s term life insurance. Sheryl, who is James’s second wife, argues the life insurance proceeds are marital property under either Wis. Stat. § 766.62 or § 766.61. We conclude neither Wis. Stat. § 766.62 nor § 766.61 apply to the life insurance proceeds, and we therefore affirm. This opinion will not be published.
