Hill v. Hill

MANN, Judge.

Clara Hill was the discarded but not divorced wife of Jim Hill, who before his death was employed by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and insured under a group life policy. Summary judgment in favor of Rebecca Hill, legally Rebecca Parker, who lived with Jim Hill as his wife and bore his youngest child, was predicated on an affidavit showing that Hill had designated Rebecca as his beneficiary and resisted on the ground that there is a presumption of undue influence which must be overcome before a paramour may recover the proceeds of insurance.
