120 Kan. 186 | Kan. | 1926
The opinion of the court was delivered by
The action is one to set aside the will of Jessie Parmalee on the ground of undue influence and of unsoundness of mind. The issue of undue influence was eliminated on the trial and is not now before the court. The trial court found:
“That at the time of the execution of the will involved herein, said Jessie Parmalee, deceased, was not of sound and disposing mind and memoiy, was mentally unsound and was mentally incapacitated for performing a testamentary act; that, at the time of the attempted execution of said will, said Jessie Parmalee was afflicted with loss of memory, and was incapacitated mentally to such an extent that she was unable and lacked the ability to recall her property or to understand the nature of the act she was then attempting to perform; that, by reason of the mental incapacity of said Jessie Parmalee at the time of the attempted execution of the said will, said will is void and ineffective as a testamentary disposition of property and that said will should be canceled, set aside and held for naught.”
Judgment was rendered in favor of the plaintiff, and the defendants appeal.
2. It is argued that incompetent evidence was introduced to show that Jessie Parmalee was mentally incapacitated. It does not appear from the abstract that any objection was made to the introduction of that evidence. It was necessary to object to its introduction if error in its admission be relied on to secure a reversal of the judgment. (Higginbotham v. Fair, 36 Kan. 742, 14 Pac. 267; State v. Greenburg, 59 Kan. 404, 53 Pac. 61.)
The judgment is affirmed.
