9 Conn. Supp. 223 | Conn. Super. Ct. | 1941
The defendant has moved to erase the appeal on the ground that the First National Bank of Hartford, as executor, has taken the appeal from a decree of the probate court denying the admission to probate of the will of Agnes D. Beckendorf in which the appellant was named as executor. The appellant was also in the will, which has been filed in connection with this motion, as appears by the terms thereof, named as trustee of a trust set up in the will.
The precise question to be determined is whether or not an executor of a will is a person aggrieved within the meaning of our statutes and has a right to appeal from a denial of admission of the will to probate. It is unnecessary to state that it has been the long established practice in this State for such appeals to be taken. In Avery's Appeal,
The motion to erase must be denied.
