In Re Estate Of John Henry Yand

John Henry Yand died intestate in Renton, Washington, in October, 1942, when he was more than ninety years old. His daughter, Ethel Martin, was duly appointed administratrix of the estate and thereafter duly qualified. The heirs of the deceased are Ethel Martin and two children of a deceased son, his grandchildren, Clarence  T. Yand and Marian Y. Eckert. During the course of the administration, Ethel Martin, with whom her father lived for a number of years prior to his death, individually filed her claim in the amount of $2,520 against the estate for care and support of, and money advanced to, the deceased. The inventory of the estate disclosed that deceased left money in a Seattle bank in the sum of $4,317. Over objection of decedent's two grandchildren, the court entered an order November 27, 1944, which allowed in full the claim of decedent's daughter, Ethel Martin. The two grandchildren served notice of appeal from that order upon Ethel Martin December 11, 1944. That notice of appeal with proof of service was filed in the office of the clerk of the superior court for King county, January 9, 1945. Appeal bond was filed December 12, 1944.
