In Re Estate of Peter Balcomb

This appeal arose out of an action brought by the appellee, Mildred McDonald, against the estate of Peter Balcomb to compel the administrator, Alexander Russin, to convey certain real property to appellee. The trial court issued an order on July 3, 1973 directing that the land be conveyed. On July 13, 1973, Frances Balcomb, the surviving spouse of Peter Balcomb, and Katherine Joy Balcomb filed a Motion to Vacate Order Compelling Conveyance; Motion for Rehearing and Motion to Quash Amended Petition to Compel Conveyance. On July 16, Alexander Russin, the appellant, filed a motion to join in the July 13 motions and also filed his own Motion for Rehearing and Motion for Reconsideration of Denial of Request for Change of Judge. On March 29, 1974, the court entered an order denying all the above-mentioned motions, and reaffirming the July 3 judgment. On May 14, the appellant filed a Notice of Appeal from the March 29 order.
