Josephine Guinta v. Judith Ida Lo Re, as Executrix of the Estate of Baldassaro Guiseppe Lo Re, Deceased

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida held that a divorce decree requiring a father to support his minor children remains enforceable against his estate for amounts accruing after his death, and equity may enter a money judgment for those amounts. The court reversed the chancellor's order that no claim existed after death and quashed the transfer of the cause to the law side. Justice Terrell dissented, arguing that the estate should be liable for the children's support.
