Estoppel Claim in Life Insurance Divorce Context
The case concerns a wife who paid premiums for two years after her husband vanished, then divorced to convey property. She later sued on the policy, and the association argued estoppel due to her divorce indicating belief the husband lived. The Washington Supreme Court held she was not estopped to claim death within two years of disappearance, since the association could not be harmed by her conduct.
