McKown's Estate
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
McKown's Estate, 198 Pa. 96 (Pa. 1901)
47 A. 1111; 1901 Pa. LEXIS 740
Browh, Fell, McCollum, Mestrezat, Mitchell, Potter
McKown's Estate
Opinion of the Court
We are not convinced of error in any of the assignments filed on this appeal. All the questions raised by them were thoroughly discussed and carefully considered by counsel and court previous to the appeal, and the conclusion arrived at was against the appellant’s contention. In the opinion of the court on exceptions the principal matter passed upon was the appellant’s claim to the policy issued in 1888. The claim was rejected and held to be in fraud of the creditors. In this we discover no error, and in connection with it we may add that we find nothing in the decree appealed from which requires a reversal or modification.
Decree affirmed and appeal dismissed at the cost of the appellant.

- Husband and wife—Life insurance—Assignment of policy to wife—Creditor. A husband who has insured his life, and has made the policy payable to his executors, administrators or assigns cannot, when insolvent, assign such policy to his wife, where it appears that the husband received no consideration from the wife for the policy, that upon the taking out of the policy he had handed it over to his wife, and several years afterwards when insolvent assigned it to her in writing, but without her knowledge.
