Non-seizability of life-insurance claims; mixed or shortened life-insurance policies payable alternatively to the insured at maturity or to his heirs on earlier death fall within the statutory protection and remain exempt from seizure. The exemption is mandatory and is not defeated by the circumstance that the policy is also intended to benefit the spouse or descendants upon the insured’s premature death. Enforcement measures against such claims are therefore unlawful (consid. 1).
