Insurance-Liability Of Insurer For Judgment In Excess Of Policy Limits, Clinton R. Ashford S.Ed.
Insurance-Liability Of Insurer For Judgment In Excess Of Policy Limits, Clinton R. Ashford S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
A liability insurer has issued a policy, reserving the sole right to effect a settlement, and refuses to settle, within the limits of the policy, a claim against the insured. A judgment in excess of the policy limit is then recovered against the insured. These circumstances present the question whether the insurer may be liable to the insured for the amount of the judgment in excess of the policy limit.
This comment will be limited to consideration of cases involving only the above facts, and no attempt will be made to consider the liability of the insurer for failing to …

Insurance-Effect Of Incontestable Clause In Suit For Reformation Of Policy, N. S. Peterman S. Ed.
Insurance-Effect Of Incontestable Clause In Suit For Reformation Of Policy, N. S. Peterman S. Ed.
Michigan Law Review
For over twenty years, defendant insurer accepted premiums on a life insurance policy issued to plaintiff. Defendant then discovered that a clerical error had been made in the original policy, as a result of which plaintiff's premium payments were approximately one-half the premiums defendant normally received for the type of policy actually issued. Defendant asked for reformation of the policy on the ground of mistake, and the trial court granted the relief sought. On appeal, held, reversed. The action was barred by the incontestable clause. Richardson v. Travelers Insurance Co., (App. 9th, 1948) 171 F. (2d) 699.
Stockholder Attacks On Corporate Pension Systems, F. Hodge O'Neal
Stockholder Attacks On Corporate Pension Systems, F. Hodge O'Neal
Vanderbilt Law Review
This article considers the legal issues raised when a corporate pension system is attacked by minority stockholders. These issues perhaps best can be delineated by focusing attention on a representative fact-situation.
The board of directors of a corporation formulate a pension plan for corporate officers and employees. Retirement benefits under the plan are to be based on employees' "past service" (i.e., service rendered the company prior to the effective date of the plan) as well as on their "future service" (i.e., service rendered after the plan is in operation). The plan includes provisions for funding the pensions with either a …

Life Insurance, The Forbidden Fruit, William J. Bowe
Life Insurance, The Forbidden Fruit, William J. Bowe
Vanderbilt Law Review
Until recently life insurance has represented the most impenetrable stronghold of the professional tax avoider and his advisors. As a vehicle for the transmission of wealth to future generations with minimum tax levies, it stood unrivaled. During a policyholder's life the value of his policy for gift tax purposes was and is measured by replacement cost.' Under applicable regulations during the thirties, when insurance was transferred by way of inter vivos gift the tremendous increase in value of the policy that came with death escaped gift tax, income tax, and estate tax. But since 1941 the situation has been reversed …

A Planner's Primer, William M. Reynolds
Vanderbilt Law Review
Anyone undertaking an assignment to write within a few pages under this comprehensive title must limit his coverage. This general article on a subject as intangible as estate planning omits entirely or gives short treatment to many considerations which may be of great importance to the conscientious planning of relatively complicated estate situations., Emphasis will be placed on the tax aspects of estate planning, particularly federal taxes, but consideration will be given to other aspects which may be of equal or even greater importance. This deliberate emphasis is certainly not intended to add to the misleading impression, too frequently held, …

Some Aspects Of Estate Planning In Tennessee, Alec B. Stevenson
Vanderbilt Law Review
Not many years ago a large New York bank circulated privately booklet with the provocative title "The Passing of the Simple Will." The choice of the title and the text itself underlined the complexities which surround the owner of property and his advisers when they jointly attempt to plan the disposition of a modern estate for modem needs. The now almost legendary owner of Blackacre could, indeed, write a simple will, quite effective and satisfactory as a plan for the disposition 'and use of the family property. One need scarcely recite the changes which have taken place in more recent …
