W.C. Bass & Sons, Inc. v. Gilman
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 19, 1996 · Gersten, Goderich, Green
677 So. 2d 338; 1996 Fla. App. LEXIS 6519; 1996 WL 334306 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

W.C. Bass & Sons, Inc. v. Gilman

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from an adverse final summary judgment. We affirm because Florida Statute 222.13(1)(1993) clearly exempts life insurance proceeds from the claims of the insured’s creditors unless the insurance policy or a valid assignment thereof provides to the contrary. Where, as here, it is undisputed that no provision of the *339subject policy waived this statutory exemption nor was there any assignment of this policy, summary judgment was properly entered.

Affirmed.
