HARKESS, Plaintiff IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA CIVIL ACTION - LAW vs. RICHARD J. COYNE AND ROSEMARY COYNE, Defendants NO. 1997 - 00199 JURY TRIAL DEMANDED COMPLAINT 1. Plaintiff Ann M. Harkess ("Plaintiff") is an adult individual, residing at 1725 Vassar Avenue, N,W" Canton, Ohio 44703, 2. Defendants Richard J. Coyne and Rosemary Coyne ("Defendants") are adult individuals, who are husband and wife, residing at 706 Allison Avenue, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17055. 3. On or about April 21, 1982, Jackson National Life Insurance Company ("Jackson National Life"), pursuant to an Application made by Mary V, Coyne to Jackson National Life on April 19, 1982, issued a Group Single Premium Deferred Annuity Contract, Certificate No. 237163, with a maturity date of April 21, 2000 ("Jackson National Life Annuity"). A copy of the Jackson National Life Annuity and the Application, along with a Disclosure Statement and Table of Guaranteed Values delivered by Jackson National Life to Mary V. Coyne at the time of issuance of the Jackson National Life Annuity, are attached hereto, made a part hereof, and marked as Exhibit "A". 4. The Jackson National Life Annuity identified Mary V. Coyne as the owner and annuitant. S, Paragraph 13 of the Application states that the annuitant retains the right to change the beneficiary under the Jackson National Life Annuity. 6. The Jackson National Life Annuity provides that upon receipt of proof of the death of the annuitant before the maturity date, Jackson National Life would pay to the "Beneficiary" an amount equal to: (1) the total amount of premiums paid without interest and reduced by the sum of all partial withdrawal amounts, or (2) the accumulated value, whichever is greater. 7. The Jackson National Life Annuity further provided as follows: . l. , I I I '1 I BENEFICIARY. Any proceeds payable because of the death of Annuitant will be paid to the Beneficiary, The Beneficiary, unless changed by the Owner, shall be as designated in the application for this Certificate. (Emphasis added). 8. No beneficiary was designated by Mary V. Coyne in the Application. However, on August 6, 1988, Mary V. Coyne, signed a Beneficiary Designation Form provided by Jackson National Life which designated the beneficiary under the Jackson National Life Annuity as Ann M. Harkess, a "friend" and Plaintiff herein. The beneficiary designation was recorded at Jackson National Life on August 30, 1988. Therefore, as of August 1988, the designated beneficiary under the Jackson National Life Annuity was - 2 - , Plaintiff. A copy of the Beneficiary Designation Form is attached hereto, made a part hereof, and marked as Exhibit "B". 9, For a period of time prior to May 10, 1990, Mary V. Coyne resided at a retirement complex in Ft, Myers, Florida. 10. On or about May 10, 1990, Defendant Richard J. Coyne, Mary V. Coyne's nephew, took Mary V. Coyne against her will from her home in Florida to his home in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, while Mary V. Coyne was mentally incompetent. 11. Shortly thereafter, Defendant Richard J, Coyne had his attorney, Allen V, Smith, Esquire, draft a Power of Attorney purportedly signed by Mary V. Coyne on May 31, 1990, granting Defendant Richard J. Coyne certain powers to act on behalf of Mary V, Coyne (" Power of Attorney"). A copy of the Power of Attorney is attached hereto, made a part hereof, and marked as Exhibit "C". 12. The Power of Attorney appoints Defendant Richard J. Coyne as attorney for Mary V. Coyne to perform certain designated acts in her name to her lIse. Nowhere in the Power of Attorney is Defendant Richard J. Coyne given the power to change the beneficiary designation on annuity contracts owned by Mary V. Coyne, including the Jackson National Life Annuity, Further, any power exercised by Defendant Richard J. Coyne was limited to the transaction of specific business solely for the benefit of Mary V. Coyne. 13. On June 4, 1990, without the knowledge or consent of Mary V. Coyne, Defendant Richard J, Coyne appeared at the office - 3 - . of Jackson National Life in Rolling Meadows, Illinois, and signed an Annuity Service Request Form, requesting that the beneficiary under the Jackson National Life Annuity be changed from Plaintiff to Defendants Richard J, Coyne and Rosemary Coyne, as primary beneficiaries, and to Defendants' children, Richard J, Coyne, IV, and Susan C. Coyne, as contingent beneficiaries. The form also requested that the mailing address be changed to Defendants' address, 706 Allison Avenue, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17055. The Annuity Service Request Form requesting a change of beneficiary was signed as follows: "Richard J. Coyne, Power of Attorney." A copy of the Annuity Service Request Form is attached hereto, made a part hereof and marked as Exhibit "D", 14, Defendants had oral and written communications with Plaintiff regarding the personal and financial affairs of Mary V. Coyne on or around June 4, 1990. However, Defendants, acting outrageously with an evil motive or reckless indifference to the rights of Plaintiff, never advised Plaintiff that Defendant Richard J. Coyne intended to sign and did sign the Annuity Service Request Form, resulting in the change of beneficiary under the Jackson National Life Annuity from Plaintiff to Defendants, 15. The change of beneficiary was recorded by Jackson National Life on June 12, 1990. The change of beneficiary was effected by Jackson National Life contrary to the Power of Attorney, in violation of the change of beneficiary provisions of the Jackson National Life Annuity, in violation of Jackson - 4 - .. National Life's internal policy with respect to beneficiary changes, and without notice to Plaintiff and Mary V. Coyne, the annuitant/owner. 16. Subsequent to the change of beneficiary, Defendant Richard J. Coyne improperly relying upon the Power of Attorney requested from Jackson National Life a partial withdrawal from the Jackson National Life Annuity in the amount of $75,000, Payment of that amount, less tax withheld, was made by Jackson National Life to Defendant Richard J. Coyne on July 11, 1990, thereby reducing the value of the Jackson National Life Annuity by $75,000. A copy of the Jackson National Life Benefit Voucher evidencing the partial withdrawal is attached hereto, made a part hereof, and marked as Exhibit "E". The partial withdrawal was paid by Jackson National Life contrary to the Power of Attorney and in violation of the provisions of the Jackson National Life Annuity. 17. On November 19, 1990, the Office of Aging of the County of Cumberland ("Office of Aging") filed a Petition for temporary appointment of guardianship with respect to Mary V. Coyne. In the Petition, the Office of Aging alleged that Mary V. Coyne was removed from Florida to Pennsylvania against her will by Defendant Richard J. Coyne, that Mary V. Coyne was incompetent and incapable of managing her affairs, and that it had reason to believe that the personal funds of Mary V. Coyne were being dissipated by Defendant Richard J. Coyne through the use of the Power of Attorney. - 5 - 18. On January 4, 1991, this Court at No, 832 Orphans' Court 1990, entered an Order appointing the Office of Aging as guardian of the person and Fulton Bank as the guardian of the Estate of Mary V. Coyne. The Court also ordered that the Power of Attorney be revoked. 19. On May 8, 1991, the Jackson National Life Annuity had an accumulated value of $279,569.18, as set forth in the letter from Jackson National Life dated May 9, 1991, a copy of which is attached hereto, made a part hereof, and marked as Exhibit "F". On September 17, 1991, Fulton Bank as guardian of Mary V. Coyne elected to take a five year interest only option with respect to the Jackson National Life Annuity which provided for a guaranteed interest payment for a five year term certain, but which also provided for the value of the annuity to be commuted if surrendered before the end of the five year term, A copy of the Jackson National Life Endorsement dated September 17, 1991 providing for same is attached hereto, made a part hereof and marked as Exhibit "G". 20. On or about February 14, 1991, prior to the end of the five year term, Fulton Bank surrendered the Jackson National Life Annuity, which at that time had a commuted value of $245,980,35, and exchanged it, along with another Jackson National Life annuity owned by Mary V. Coyne, for a new annuity policy with Prudential, policy number 97623316, in the amount of $290,522.19 ("Prudential Annuity"). No notice of the surrender or exchange was given to Plaintiff, - 6 - , 21, The annuitant under the prudential Annuity was Mary V. Coyne, and the primary beneficiaries were Defendants Richard J. Coyne and Rosemary Coyne. Prudential designated Defendants as primary beneficiaries since they were designated as beneficiaries on the Jackson National Life Annuity pursuant to the improper beneficiary change as described in paragraphs 13-15 hereof. 22. Mary V. Coyne died on January 2, 1994, in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. According to the Certificate of Death, a copy of which is attached hereto, made a part hereof and marked as Exhibit "Hit, the immediate cause of her death was Alzheimer's Type Dementia, the onset of which occurred approximately five years prior to her death; ~, on or about January 1989, prior to the time she signed the Power of Attorney. 23. Following Mary V. Coyne's death, Prudential paid the proceeds of the Prudential Annuity in the total amount of $313,075.05 to Defendants Richard J. Coyne and Rosemary Coyne, the primary beneficiaries. At the date of Mary V. Coyne's death, the Prudential Annuity had a value of $308,692.62, 24. Plaintiff had no knowledge of the change of beneficiary of the Jackson National Life Annuity from her to Defendants Richard J. Coyne and Rosemary Coyne, the partial withdrawal from the Jackson National Life Annuity by Defendant Richard J. Coyne, the surrender and exchange of the Jackson National Life Annuity for the Prudential Annuity, or the payment of the proceeds of the Prudential Annuity to Defendants Richard J. Coyne and Rosemary Coyne. - 7 - . 25. Defendant Richard J. Coyne improperly used the Power of Attorney to change the beneficiary of the Jackson National Life Annuity to himself and Defendant Rosemary Coyne and to withdraw $75,000 from the Jackson National Life Annuity without Mary V. Coyne's knowledge and consent, to the detriment of Plaintiff. 26, The acts of Defendant Richard J. Coyne in using the Power of Attorney to change the beneficiary of the Jackson National Life Annuity to himself and Defendant Rosemary Coyne and to withdraw funds from the Jackson National Life Annuity were performed by Defendant Richard J. Coyne for the mutual benefit and use of himself and Defendant Rosemary Coyne, to the detriment of Plaintiff. I I t I 'I l i 27. At all times material hereto, Defendant Richard J. Coyne was acting as the agent of Defendant Rosemary Coyne and with her knowledge and consent. COUNT I PLAINTIPP v. DEPENDANTS INTENTIONAL INTERPERENCE WITH CONTRACTUAT. RELATIONS 28. The averments of paragraphs 1 - 27 inclusive hereof are incorporated by reference herein as if set forth in their entirety. 29. A contractual relationship existed between Jackson National Life and Plaintiff, the lawful beneficiary of the Jackson National Life Annuity. 30, Defendants, with the intent to harm Plaintiffs, interfered with the performance of the contract between Jackson National Life and Plaintiff by inducing the breach of the - 8 - , contract by Jackson National Life in, inter alia, effecting the improper change of beneficiary of the Jackson National Life Annuity from Plaintiff to Defendants and paying to Defendants the improper partial withdrawal from the Jackson National Life Annuity. 31, Defendants' conduct was not privileged or justified. 32. By reason of the foregoing, Plaintiff has suffered damages in the amount of the accumulated value of the Jackson National Life Annuity had it been in effect on January 2, 1994, the date of Mary V. Coyne's death and had the improper partial withdrawal not been made. 33. The conduct of Defendants in inducing the breach of contract by Jackson National Life in, inter alia, effecting the change of beneficiary, making the partial withdrawal payments, and ultimately in receiving and accepting the proceeds of the Prudential Annuity, all without the consent of and notice to Mary V, Coyne and Plaintiff, to the benefit of Defendants and the detriment of Plaintiff, was intentional, and Defendants acted outrageously with an evil motive or reckless indifference to the rights of Plaintiff. Accordingly, Plaintiff is entitled to an award of punitive damages. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Ann M. Harkess demands that judgment be entered in her favor and against Defendants Richard J. Coyne and Rosemary Coyne, jointly and severally, in an amount in excess of $25,000, the jurisdictional amount requiring referral to - 9 - , arbitration by local rule, plus punitive damages, interest, and costs of suit, COUNT II PLAINTIPP v. DEPENDANTS PRAUD 34. The averments of paragraphs 1 - 33 inclusive hereof are incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in their entirety. 35. Defendants misrepresented to Jackson National Life, inter alia, that Mary V. Coyne had given Defendant Richard J. Coyne the authority to change the beneficiary of the Jackson National Life Annuity from Plaintiff to Defendants and to make partial withdrawals from the Jackson National Life Annuity and further that said actions were taken with Mary V. Coyne's knowledge and consent, 36. Said representations were made by Defendants with knowledge of their falsity with the intent of misleading Jackson National Life into relying on them, 37. Defendants' conduct as aforesaid was fraudulent. 38. As a proximate result of Defendants' fraudulent conduct, Plaintiff has suffered damages in the amount of the accumulated value of the Jackson National Life Annuity had it been in effect on January 2, 1994, the date of Mary V. Coyne's death and had the improper partial withdrawal not been made. 39.

CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE I HEREBY CERTIFY that I served a copy of the foregoing document on all counsel of record by placing same in the United States mail at HarriSburg, Pennsylvania, postage prepaid, on January 12, 1999, and addressed as follows: Mr. Richard J. Coyne Mrs. Rosemary Coyne 706 Allison Avenue Mechanicsburg, PA 17055 (Defendants) <rrtt:1t REYNOLDS & HAVAS A Professional Corporation (3664-199) 5. The underlying facts in the companion case are substantially similar to the underlying facts which form the basis of this case. 6. The Coynes are represented by Arthur T. McDermott, Esquire, in the companion case. 7. On January 12, 1999, Plaintiff filed a Complaint against the Coynes in this case, As of that time, no appearance had been entered on behalf of the Coynes. Therefore, the Complaint was served upon the Coynes. 8. After service of the Complaint was made upon the Coynes in this case, Attorney McDermott contacted the undersigned counsel for Plaintiff ("the undersigned") and advised him that he would not be representing the Coynes in this case. However, he requested a general extension of time for the Coynes to file an answer to the Complaint, which extension was granted by the undersigned. 9. On February 15, 1999, Hubert X. Gilroy, Esquire, wrote to the undersigned to advise him that the Coynes had contacted him to represent them in this case. However, he stated that the Coynes had not yet "formally" retained him, and therefore he had not yet entered an appearance. A copy of said letter is attached hereto, made a part hereof and marked as Exhibit "A". 10, In the meantime, counsel for all parties in the companion case (including Attorney McDermott on behalf of the Coynes) agreed that the videotape deposition of Plaintiff for use at trial would be taken in Canton, Ohio (Plaintiff's place of - 2 - residence), on March 24, 1999. A notice of deposition was served on February 17, 1999, by the undersigned upon all counsel, including Attorney McDermott, in the companion case, 11, Shortly thereafter, the undersigned noticed the videotape deposition of Ann Harkess for use at trial in this case for March 24, 1999, in Canton, Ohio. A copy of the notice was served upon the Coynes by letter dated February 23, 1999. A copy of the February 23, 1999 letter is attached hereto, made a part hereof and marked as Exhibit "B", and a copy of the Notice of Videotape Deposition is attached hereto, made a part hereof and marked as Exhibit "C". 12. On February 24, 1999, the undersigned wrute to Attorney Gilroy to acknowledge receipt of his February 15, 1999 letter. In the letter, the undersigned advised Attorney Gilroy that the videotape deposition of Plaintiff for use at trial in the companion case had been notic~d for March 24, 1999, in Canton, Ohio. 13. The undersigned also advised Attorney Gilroy in the February 24, 1999 letter that in order to save time and expense, the deposition of Plaintiff for use at trial in this case was also going to be taken on March 24, 1999, in Canton, Ohio. A copy of the February 24, 1999 letter is attached hereto, made a part hereof and marked as Exhibit "0". 14. After receiving the February 24, 1999 letter, Attorney Gilroy wrote to Attorney McDermott on March 1, 1999, to advise him that the deposition of Plaintiff would be taken in both - 3 - actions and that ", . . it is my understanding that you will include in your questions of Ms. Harkess pertinent information relating to the action at Docket No. 97-0199." A copy of the March 1, 1999 letter, which is attached hereto, made a part hereof and marked as Exhibit "E", was sent to the undersigned and to the Coynes by Attorney Gilroy. 15, Based upon Attorney Gilroy's March 1, 1999 letter, it was the undersigned's understanding that Attorney Gilroy and the Coynes had no objection to the videotape deposition of Plaintiff for use at trial being taken in this case in Canton, Ohio, on March 24, 1999, and that Attorney McDermott would represent and protect the interests of the Coynes at the deposition. At no time up to and including March 23, 1999, the day before the scheduled deposition, did the Coynes or any attorney on their behalf object to the deposition. 16. The undersigned received no further communications from Attorney Gilroy regarding the videotape deposition noticed in this case until March 23, 1999, the day before the scheduled deposition, when Attorney Gilroy contacted the undersigned's secretary and advised her that he was filing a motion for protective order with the Court that day. Subsequently, Attorney Gilroy filed with and presented to the Court a "Petition for Protection Order" on March 23, On the same day, he faxed a copy of the Petition and a copy of the March 23, 1999 Order entered by the Court with respect to the Petition to the undersigned's - 4 - secretary. By this time, the undersigned had already traveled to and was in Canton, Ohio, for the deposition, 17. In the Petition for Protection Order, the Coynes requested the Court to enter a Rule upon Plaintiff to show cause why the videotape deposition taken in Canton, Ohio, on March 24, 1999, should be used as a deposition for use at trial in this case. lB. On March 23, 1999, this Court, by the Honorable Edgar B. Bayley, entered an Order in the nature of a Rule upon Plaintiff to show cause "why the deposition of the Plaintiff for use at trial must be scheduled in Canton, Ohio, for March 24, 1999." Pending receipt of Plaintiff's response to the Rule, which was made returnable 20 days after service, the Court reserved ruling on whether the videotape deposition of Plaintiff taken on March 24, 1999, in Canton, Ohio, may be used as a deposition for use at trial in this case, and whether the Coynes may request that Plaintiff submit herself to a deposition for purposes of discovery in connection with this case. 19. On March 24, 1999, the deposition of Plaintiff for use at trial was taken in this case and the companion case. JNL also took the discovery deposition of Plaintiff in the companion case. Defendant Richard J. Coyne and Attorney McDermott were present at both depositions. 20. Plaintiff submits that the videotape deposition of Plaintiff taken on March 24, 1999, in Canton, Ohio, should be - 5 - used as a deposition for use at trial in this case for, inter alia, the following reasons: A. Plaintiff is a 77 year old woman who essentially has been confined to her home in Canton, Ohio, for almost twenty (20) years. She is unable to travel to Carlisle, Pennsylvania, to attend trial as set forth in letter dated April 1, 1999, from Ronald A. Shubert, M.D., her attending physician in Canton, Ohio, A copy of the April 1, 1999 letter is attached hereto, made a part hereof and marked as Exhibit "F". B. Because of the time and expense involved in traveling to Ohio to take Plaintiff's deposition for use at trial, the undersigned noticed the deposition of Plaintiff in the companion case and in this case for the same date in Canton, Ohio, C. Plaintiff gave notice of the taking of the deposition to the Coynes, Attorney Gilroy and Attorney McDermott approximately 30 days before the date of the deposition. D. The underlying facts in both cases are essentially the same. Attorney McDermott is familiar with those facts because he has represented the Coynes in the companion case since they were joined as additional defendants in that case in 1997. Attorney McDermott was present at the videotape deposition of Plaintiff taken in this case. Attorney McDermott could have protected, and did protect, the interests of the Coynes at the videotape deposition in accordance with the instructions in Attorney Gilroy's March 1, 1999 letter to Attorney McDermott 6 - (Exhibit E), Further, Defendant Richard J. Coyne was present at the videotape deposition. E. Although the Coynes, Attorney Gilroy and Attorney McDermott received notice of Plaintiff's intention to take the videotape deposition in this case approximately 30 days before the date of the deposition, the petition for Protection Order was not filed and presented to the Court until March 23, 1999, one day before the scheduled deposition and after counsel had traveled to Ohio and incurred the time and expense related thereto. F. For the foregoing reasons, it is respectfully submitted that this Court should order that the videotape deposition of Plaintiff for use at trial taken on March 24, 1999, in Canton, Ohio, may be used as a deposition for use at trial in this case. 21, Plaintiff submits that Plaintiff should not be required to submit herself to a deposition for purposes of discovery in connection with this case for the following reasons: A. Counsel for JNL took the deposition of Plaintiff for discovery purposes immediately prior to the videotape deposition taken for use at trial in the companion case on March 24, 1999, in Canton, Ohio. B. Counsel for JNL gave the parties in the companion case notice that he intended to take the discovery deposition by letter dated March 10, 1999, a copy of which is attached hereto, - 7 - made a part hereof and marked as Exhibit "G", A copy of that letter was sent to Attorney Mr.Dermott, C. Attorney McDermott represented the Coynes at the discovery deposition taken in the companion case and was present throughout. The underlying facts in the companion case are substantially similar to the underlying facts in this case. Therefore, on behalf of the Coynes, Attorney McDermott could have asked any questions of Plaintiff relevant to this case. D. As stated above and in the letter of Dr. Shubert (Exhibit F), Plaintiff is not physically able to travel from Ohio to Pennsylvania for any reason, including the taking of her discovery deposition, Accordingly, if another discovery deposition is taken, counsel would be required to travel to Canton, Ohio, for the deposition. This would involve significant time and expense. E. The questioning of Plaintiff during the discovery deposition in the companion case on March 24, 1999, was thorough and the Coynes were adequately represented at that deposition. Further, Defendant Richard J. Coyne was present at the discovery deposition. F. To the extent the Coynes wish to propound additional questions to Plaintiff in this case, they can do so through written interrogatories, G. For the foregoing reasons, it is respectfully submitted that this Court should order that Plaintiff not be - 8 - t .. \ " YJ!lRIPICATION I, R.

In the meantime, please be advised that I am g~anting an extension of time for the Coynes to rile a responsive pleading to the Complaint. As you probably know, my client, Ann Harkess, has also filed an action against Jackson National Life Insurance Company and Prudential Insurance Company of America in Cumberland Count at Docket No. 97-15. Mr. and Mrs. Coyne were joined as Additional Defendants in that action by Jackson National Life. The pleadings are closed in that action and discovery is almost completed. I have noticed the deposition of Ann Harkess for use at trial in that action. The deposition is scheduled for March 24, 1999, in Canton, Ohio. In order to save time and expense, I have also noticed the deposition of Ann Harkess for use at trial on March 24 in Canton in the action filed against the Coynes at docket number 97-0199.

Although at the scheduled deposition Allorney McDennoll will represent the interests of the Defcndants in the Companion Case, Defendants counsel in the above captioned case is not available to represent Defendant at a deposition on March 24, 1999 in Ohio. B. Because the scheduled deposition is more than 100 miles from the Cumberland County Courthouse, Defendants would be authorized to receive payment of reasonable cxpenses to allend such deposition, including allorney's fees, pursuant to Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 4008. In Plaintilf's notice of deposition, Plaintiff made no suggestion that Dcfendants would be reimhursed for their reasonable expenses. C. The deposition is of the Plaintiff and, as proposed by Plaintiff's counsel, is not a discovery deposition but is a deposition for "use at trial". The Notice of Deposition does not suggest any reason why Plaintiff would not be ahle to all end a trial in the above captioned case and subject herself' personally to examination hy a Judge or jury. D. Allendance at a deposition in Ohio by Icgal counsel for the Defendant would cause an undue burdcn or expense.
