COMPLAINT

The defendant C.D., herein named, is a resident of (street),

(city), County, Georgia, and is subject to the jurisdiction of this

court. (Add appropriate statement about domicile of remaining defendants.)

1.

On or about June 1, 1965, plaintiff issued to G.H. a policy of life

insurance whereby plaintiff promised to pay to K.L. as beneficiary the sum of

$10,000.00 upon the death of G.H. The policy required the payment by G.H. of a

stipulated premium on June 1, 1966, and annually thereafter as a condition

precedent to its continuance in force.

2.

No part of the premium due June 1, 1966, was ever paid and the policy

ceased to have any force or effect after July 1, 1966.

3.

Thereafter, on September 1, 1966, G.H. and K.L. died as the result of a

collision between a locomotive and the automobile in which G.H. and K.L. were

riding.

4.

Defendant C.D. is the duly appointed and acting executor of the will of

G.H., defendant E.F. is the duly appointed and acting executor of the will of

K.L., and defendant X.Y. claims to have been duly designated as beneficiary of

said policy in place of K.L.

5.

Each of the defendants, C.D., E.F., and X.Y., is claiming that the

above-mentioned policy was in full force and effect at the time of the death

of G.H.; each of them is claiming to be the only person entitled to receive

payment of the amount of the policy and has made demand for payment thereof.

6.

By reason of these conflicting claims of the defendants, plaintiff is in

great doubt as to which defendant is entitled to be paid the amount of the

policy if it was in force at the time of death of G.H.

Wherefore, plaintiff demands that the court adjudge:

(1) That none of the defendants is entitled to recover from plaintiff

the amount of said policy or any part thereof.

(2) That each of the defendants be restrained from instituting any

action against plaintiff for the recovery of the amount of said policy or any

part thereof.

(3) That, if the court shall determine that said policy was in force at

the death of G.H., the defendants be required to interplead and settle between

themselves their rights to the money due under said policy and that plaintiff

be discharged from all liability in the premises except to the person whom the

court shall adjudge entitled to the amount of said policy.

(4) That plaintiff recover its costs.
