68 A. 540 | N.H. | 1907
It appears that the will was duly proved in common form in March, 1907, that in April, 1907, the defendant, *417
Edward Gebhard, an heir of the testatrix, filed a petition in the probate court asking for a re-examination of the probate of the will, and that this petition is still pending. The court is, therefore, asked to construe the provisions of a document purporting to dispose of the property of the deceased, while proceedings are pending which may show that its execution was invalid, and that the plaintiff has no title to the estate as executrix and no trust duties to perform. It does not appear that the advice sought will be of use to the plaintiff in the discharge of official duties. In such a case the court will decline to comply with the request for instructions. As held in Carr v. St. Paul's Parish,
Case discharged.
All concurred.
