• •Further, the proper interpretation of insurance -contracts is a matter of law to be decided by a court; and, thus, an appellate court uses a d'e ’novo, not a deferential, standard of review. Hugenberg v. West American Ins. Co./Ohio Cas. Group, 249 S.W.3d 174, 185 (Ky.App.2006): Similarly, when an appellate court reviews a trial court’s decision to grant-summary judgment as in this case,- the appellate court must determine whether the trial court correctly found that there were no genuine issues of material fact. Kentucky Rules of Civil Procedure .(CR) 56.03. Since “sum*636mary judgment involves only legal questions and the existence of ahy disputed material issues of fact, an appellate court need not defer to the trial court’s'decision and will review the issue de novo.” Lewis v. B & R Corporation, 56 S.W.3d 432, 436 (Ky.App.2001).
