Syllabus

<p>1. The statutes of Florida have no force as such beyond the limits of the State.</p> <p>A. A life insurance policy which by its terms does not become a completed contract until delivery on payment of first premium is to be construed as a contract made in the State where the first premium is paid and the policy delivered.</p> <p>3. Section 315'4 General Statutes, 1906, does not affect the rights of an insurer under a contract m]ade in another State; and neither the law nor the public policy of this State forbids the payment of the proceeds of insurance policies to an administrator of a person who dies in this State while a resident of and domiciled therein, when the policy contracts are mjade in another State without reference to the laws of this State and such contracts expressly provide that the policies shall be payable to the administrator of the insured, and payment to the administrator of the insured is authorized by the law of such other state.</p>
