Description
This is an heirship proceeding arising from an allegation of adoption by estoppel. At stake are the proceeds of four life insurance policies issued on the life of the father. The claimants of these proceeds are the guardian for the estate of the decedents natural son, petitioner here, and the allegedly adoptive son, respondent. The trial court rendered judgment on a jury verdict that an adoption by estoppel had occurred and that the adoptive son would share the proceeds of the life insurance policies equally with the natural son. The court of civil appeals reformed the trial court judgment to reflect that the adoptive son would receive the entire proceeds of one of the insurance policies and, as reformed, affirmed. 517 S.W.2d 658. We affirm the judgment of the court of civil appeals.
