Klooz, Administrator v. Cox

Erman Clinton Wade and Wilma E. Wade, his wife, executed a
joint and mutual will, which we found was contractual in In re
Estate of Wade, 202 Kan. 380, 449 P.2d 488. After Erman's death,
Wilma deposited $8,000.00 in the Capitol Federal Savings & Loan
Association at Lawrence, Kansas, registered in the name of Mrs.
Wilma Wade or Densil Cox, as joint tenants with rights of
survivorship and not as tenants in common. She also deposited
$5,000.00 in the Lawrence Building & Loan Association in the name
of Mrs. Wilma Wade and Verona Cox and Densil Cox, as joint
tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common. After Wilma's death, her administrator filed suit against
Densil Cox, Verona Cox, and the two associations, claiming the
two accounts were assets of the estate of Wilma Wade. The
defendants, Densil Cox and Verona Cox, appeal from an adverse
ruling of the trial court.
