Elsie C. Willis and Grace Shaull v. Ann M. Coleman
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit · Decided April 11, 1966 · Tuttle, Thornberry, Lynne
358 F.2d 312; 1966 U.S. App. LEXIS 6539 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Elsie C. Willis and Grace Shaull v. Ann M. Coleman

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Upon a careful consideration of the testimony touching on the mental capacity of the deceased veteran to change the beneficiary of his government insurance policy from his wife to his two sisters, we conclude that there was sufficient evidence for the trial court to submit this issue to the jury. We conclude also that in doing so, the trial court did not err in charging the law of insane delusion in light of the testimony adduced on behalf of the appellee.

The judgment is affirmed.
