We can answer legal problems of a

Widow’s Right to Insurance 
Question: In New York State, if a man dies leaving a 
widow, and his property is involved in debt, can they take 
her insurance left by husband for debt? 
Have heard it remarked that if husband leaves a will so 
she would be entitled to all his property, they could take 
insurance, but if no will was made, where she would be 
entitled to only the use of one-third, they could not take 
insurance. Kindly give me your opinion or the facts as 
you know them. 
Answer: Under the Insurance Law, a 
wife is entitled to keep as much insurance 
free from such claims as premium of $500 
per year will buy. Hence, if your prem¬ 
ium does not amount to more than that 
amount, and if your wife and not your 
estate is named in the policy as the 
beneficiary, you need have no fear of 
creditors touching it. Creditors are, 
however, paid from estate assets before 
any distribution is made to wife and chil¬ 
dren; but under no circumstances can 
the dower right of your wife to a third in 
your real estate during her life be inter¬ 
fered with by creditors.

wanted for seed. The day before he hauled them, Mr. 
B. comes and asks Mr. A. to save him ten bushels for 
seed, which Mr. A. does. He measured them and put 
them in the granary under lock. In a month or two 
thieves came, pulled the staple, and took the beans. What 
I would like to know is, who should be the loser of the 
beans, Mr. A or Mr. B.? If Mr. B. hadn’t rdered the 
beans, Mr. A. would have taken them with the others. 
I hope I have made this clear. I would greatly appre¬ 
ciate your opinion in this matter. 
Answer: Your case states one of the 
most difficult questions involved in the 
law, namely, the risk of loss in a contract 
for the sale of goods. After careful 
thought upon the facts as you have given 
them, it is our opinion that this loss should 
fall upon Mr. B. After you measured out 
his ten bushels and set them aside, they 
were his beans, and under the Personal 
Property Law the risk would seem to be 
on him. You have asked us, however, to 
answer a question that can only be an¬ 
swered by a jury; and while we believe 
our opinion as expressed is correct, upon 
consideration of all the evidence that 
would have to be introduced in an actual 
suit upon the contract, a jury might come 
to the opposite conclusion.

Question of Joint Deed 
Question: When the deed for a home is in both wife and 
husband’s name, and this husband signs a judgment and 
the note is entered against the home, is it lawful without 
the wife’s name on it, or in other words, is that note of 
any account to the owner of it? The note was given for 
five years. Could you sell your home and make a clear 
deed for it? 
When I subscribed for your paper, the man that was 
getting up the subscriptions told me we could ask any 
legal advice through the paper. 
' Answer: We would say that whether 
the judgment entered against your hus¬ 
band creates a lien on your land depends 
upon the wording of your deed. If the 
deed creates a “tenancy in common’’ 
there is a valid lien. If it creates a “ten¬ 
ancy by the entiretys” there is only a 
contingent lien; i. e., the lien does not 
become valid unless you die first. If you 
survive your husband, in this latter case 
the lien woidd not be good.

Insure With Reliable Companies 
Question: Kindly let me know your opinion on the 
following: My son bought a Ford on the credit plan for 
which he paid altogether $477 including insurance for 
fire and theft. The policy rates the car at $441 and the 
policy is for $355 in case of a loss. 
His car was stolen after using it to go to work (9 miles 
each way) five months. He had to wait sixty days to get 
a settlement from the insurance company. When the 
sixty days were up. they offered him $250 and have come 
up to $275 by now. Have they the right to pay him just 
what they please? You see, he has to buy another car 
while the one stolen was just as good as new to him. What 
do they take the premium for on a certain amount when 
they afterwards give what they please? 
I know a car depreciates, but $355 was all the car de¬ 
preciated to in five months. My son being a mechanic 
kept it in first class condition. 
W’ould you kindly let me know what we can do in his 
ease? The insurance company has him insured since 
June 19th and still they are not willing to clear it up. 
Our dealer has tried to get it but can not. We could have 
insured with reliable people but when I inquired after the 
policy was given to him by the dealer, I was told it was a 
good company. Now why don’t they pay the policy 
according to what it calls for? 
Answer: It is our opinion that the 
only way in which you can recover more 
than the company offers is to bring suit 
and then prove that your loss was greater. 
An insurance policy permits recovery only 
of the value of the car at the time it was 
stolen. Such value is a question of fact 
to be determined by a jury. You would 
have to go into court and prove your 
actual damage. That is. expensive and 
would probably cost you more than the 
difference between the amount offered 
and the amount claimed. 
* * * 
Taxes in Farm Sale 
Question: Suppose a man should sell a farm after it had 
been assessed and nothing had been said in regard to the 
taxes, could the man that bought it make the seller pay 
the taxes ? 
Answer: It is our opinion that if the 
tax has not become a lien on the land the 
buyer cannot compel the seller to pay 
such tax. Whether or not it is a lien can 
be discovered by inquiring of the treasurer 
of your county.
