The past year has witnessed the closing by judicial decision of two important gaps in the Washington community property law, both relating to life insurance proceeds. The first case in point of time, Occidental Life Insurance Company v. Powers, announced the rule that where the husband changes the beneficiary of a life insurance policy which is the property of the community because issued on the life of the husband during marriage and paid for with community funds, without the consent or knowledge of the wife, the former beneficiary, the attempted gift by the husband is ineffective and the wife may …

Michigan Law Review

Insurance - Material Misrepresentations - Matter Of Fact Or Of Law-"Medical Consultation" Cases, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Statutes, in some two-thirds of the forty-eight states, have the approximate effect of changing all warranties in life insurance policies into representations. And in most of the remaining states the courts have interpreted statements of the applicant as representations rather than warranties wherever there has been room for doubt, to avoid the harshness of the rules governing a breach of warranty. The effect of all this is to eliminate immaterial misrepresentations of fact from the list of the insurer's possible defenses, and to increase the importance of determining when a misrepresentation is material, and by whom that inquiry is to …

Michigan Law Review
After the insured had made formal claims for total disability benefits for four years without bringing action to enforce them, the insurer, having at all times denied the total disability of the insured, brought suit in a federal district court for a declaration that it was not liable for the benefits claimed and that the policies had lapsed for non-payment of premiums. The district court granted a motion to dismiss because the insurer failed to present a "controversy" within the Federal Constitution and the Declaratory Judgments Act and because the insurer had no "rights or other legal relations" to be …
