Watkins v. Davis
Court of Appeals of Georgia
1Opinion of the Court
McMurray, Presiding Judge.
Nineteen days prior to his suicide, Allen Watkins, Jr., signed a document which purported to change the beneficiary of an insurance policy on his life to "S. Denise Davis, Niece, 617 Emery Highway, Macon, Georgia.” There is no person shown to be the natural subject of decedent’s bounty and affection by this name. The decedent insured did have a daughter named Tracy Denise Watkins and a half niece named Sharon Yvonne Davis, neither of whom lived at 617 Emery Highway, the address of the mother of the decedent where decedent was living at the time of his death.
