PRIM v. PRIM


754 S.W.2d 609 (1988)

Norma J. PRIM, Executrix of the Estate of William Kelly Prim, Defendant-Appellant, v. Lee Reagan PRIM, Plaintiff-Appellee.

Supreme Court of Tennessee, at Nashville.

July 18, 1988.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Clara Willis Byrd, Nashville, for defendant-appellant.

L.R. DeMarco, Nashville, for plaintiff-appellee.


HARBISON, Chief Justice.

This case involves the question of whether provisions for monthly alimony survived the death of the husband and constituted a continuing obligation of his estate. Both the probate court and the Court of Appeals sustained the claim against the husband's estate and held that the estate was obligated to make monthly alimony payments to the former wife until her death or remarriage. After careful consideration, we reverse and dismiss.
