In Re Estate Of Billie Reid Newalla

Newalla died on May 20, 1988. That same day, Potter petitioned to be appointed special administrator of the estate and was so appointed. On June 21, 1988, Potter filed a petition requesting (a) formal probate of a will executed by Newalla on October 21, 1987 (the "Will"), (b) an order determining the heirs of the decedent, and (c) her formal appointment as personal representative of the estate. The Will provided that Vance would receive all of Newalla's assets unless he was married to or living with Deborah Cornett, in which case Potter would be the sole heir. Vance has not disputed that he was married to and living with Deborah Cornett at the time of Newalla's death.
