Description
[25 N.Y.2d 196 Page 198] This appeal involves the revocability of an election of benefits under a public employees' retirement system and suggests
the need for a renewed examination of the kinds of mental incompetency which may render voidable the exercise of contractual
rights. The particular issue arises on the evidently unwise and foolhardy selection of benefits by a 60-year-old teacher,
on leave for mental illness and suffering from cerebral arteriosclerosis, after service as a public schoolteacher and participation
in a public retirement system for over 40 years. The teacher died a little less than two months after making her election
of maximum benefits, payable to her during her life, thus causing the entire reserve to fall in. She left surviving her husband
of 38 years of marriage and two grown children.
