Rowley v. Bryson
Rowley v. Bryson
Opinion of the Court
In this action on a creditor’s claim against the estate of a decedent, the court sustained a demurrer to the first amended complaint without leave to amend. From the resulting judgment plaintiff appeals.
The claim, which was rejected in its entirety, was for the sum of $3,500, being the amount of insurance under a life insurance policy in which plaintiff’s intestate, Burt M. Rowley, was beneficiary, and defendant’s intestate, Edgar T. Albert,
The complaint did not allege facts showing any indebtedness owing by defendant estate, and the demurrer was therefore properly sustained. Plaintiff had ample opportunity to allege the receipt of the money by defendant, but failed to do so, and likewise failed to seek leave to amend the complaint to cure the defect. The demurrer was therefore properly sustained without leave to amend.
The judgment is affirmed.
Houser, P. J., and York, J., concurred.
