Denton v. Travelers Insurance Co.

REYNOLDS, Judge.

Appellant, administratrix of deceased brother’s estate, sued appellee, The Travelers Insurance Company, for life insurance proceeds which the Company had paid to the designated beneficiary, Iva Ping, the decedent’s divorced wife.

This appeal followed.
