Four siblings tried to make breach of contract and bad faith claims against an insurer for a fire loss. The policy was issued only in their parents’ names, though they claimed the carrier knew that they were owners. The court found that absent a contractual obligation between these siblings and the carrier, there could be no breach of contract or bad faith claims by them against the insurer.
