In re Jones
District Court, D. Maryland
In the matter of the bankruptcy of Harry C. Jones, trading- as H. C. Jones & Co. On petition of the trustee to compel the bankrupt to surrender a certain life policy or pay the surrender value thereof.
1Opinion of the Court
ROSE, District Judge.
The bankrupt’s life was insured. The insurance was payable to his wife, but he had the right at any time, and without her consent, to substitute any other beneficiary in her place. At the time of the filing of the petition in bankruptcy the policy had a cásh surrender value of $1,725.85. The bankrupt had possession of it. The trustee says he is entitled to it, or to its surrender value. The bankrupt and his wife say that he is not. Some states do not suffer creditors to take any life insurance. In them the trustee has no claim upon any life policy. Holden v. Stratton, 198…
