132 P. 587 | Cal. | 1913
This appeal, taken by John Lapique, representing himself to be a creditor of the deceased and entitled to letters of administration upon his estate, is from the decree of the court granting the application of the widow of the deceased for such letters. Upon the oral hearing of the appeal the decree appealed from was affirmed from the bench, the reasons for such affirmance being then given. Those reasons are substantially the following: The widow of the deceased had applied for letters of administration upon her husband's estate. Lapique interposed with a contest and a petition asking that letters be issued to himself as being a creditor and a fit and competent person. His petition and contest could prevail over the widow's right, under section
The court was, therefore, right in adjudging that appellant's petition and contest were without merit.
Hearing in Bank denied.
