Death as Affecting Officers and Agencies

Authors

Paul P. Ashley

Abstract

Behind the law of offer and acceptance runs the theory, though in truth it is but a fiction, that contractual agreement is predicated upon a literal meeting of the minds of the contracting parties. Sine a dead mind cannot agree, it has with logic inevitably followed that an offer is eo instanti revoked upon the death of the offeror.
