Annotations

JUDICIAL DECISIONS Insurable interest may not exceed indebtedness to be secured. - Creditor has, for the purpose of indemnification against loss, but for no other, an insurable interest in the life of a debtor; and this interest cannot exceed in amount that of the indebtedness to be secured. Such indebtedness may, however, include the cost

of taking out and keeping up the insurance, if made a charge against the debtor or the debtor’s estate, or upon the proceeds of the policy when collected. Vulcan Life & Accident Ins. Co. v. United Banking Co., 118 Ga. App. 36, 162 S.E.2d 798 (1968).
