Bills And Notes - Authority To Fill In Blanks - Effect Of Death Of Maker

Michigan Law Review

H gave W his note in blank with authority to fill it in at $50,000 when she wished, the note representing W's interest in their joint property. W filled in the blanks after H's death and sued H's estate on the note. Held, the authority to fill in was not revoked by H's death, for it was a power coupled with an interest. In re Ferrara (N. J. 19 3 l) 156 Atl. 265.
