About this document
Insular Life v. Carponia and Pascuala de Ebrado Com2 by Deon Talamisan Juanzo is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Supreme Court ruled that a common-law wife (concubine) is disqualified from being a beneficiary of a life insurance policy taken out by a married man, as per the Civil Code. The Court emphasized that designating a concubine as a beneficiary violates provisions regarding donations, which are void in cases of adultery or concubinage. Consequently, the insurance proceeds must go to the legal heirs of the deceased instead of the concubine.
