execution waiver in Louisiana

2018Importantly, in Johnson , 980 So.2d at 876 , the plaintiff "testified there was no discussion between him and [the agent] regarding his selection" other than his explanation over the telephone that "he wanted 'full coverage'." Thus, in my opinion, the facts of the present case differ, and, in fact, evidence indicates that the insurer's inscription on the form came at the direction of the insured.

2010The new majority has declined to follow the Louisiana Supreme Court’s recent decision of State v. 2003 Infinite G35 VIN# JNKCV51E93MO24167 and Kristofor Rebstock, 2009-1193 (La.1/20/10), 27 So.3d 824 , which provides an enlightening roadmap to guide the execution and analysis of these cases.

Henderson, 95-2784, p. 7 (La.App. 4th Cir.2/15/96), 670 So.2d 489, 493 .

1990In discussing the 1984 amendment, the Cross court observed that: [T]here is no prohibition —express or implied—on a state court's requiring the execution of the waiver, and because state court allocation of dependency exemptions has been custom and usage for decades, it is more reasonable than not to infer that if Congress had intended to forbid state courts from allocating the exemption by requiring the waiver to be signed, Congress would have said so.
