## Opinion text

SCHAUER, J.
I concur in the views expressed by Justice Carter. It further appears to me that the death of the beneficiary, Mrs. Hamilton, provides no ground for avoidance of payment to her estate of the sums which she was entitled to receive while she was living. (See Board of Soc. Welfare v. County of Los Angeles (1945), 27 Cal.2d 81, 86, 88-89 [ 162 P.2d 630 ].) I, too, would affirm the judgment.
