In re Estate of Seeger

The opinion of the court was delivered by This appeal stems from a controversy over the appointment of an
administrator for the estate of Margaret Seeger, deceased. The facts which are not in dispute may be briefly stated:
Margaret Seeger died intestate on April 11, 1970, a resident of
Phillips County, Kansas. She left as her sole and only heir at
law an incompetent son, Gayle Edward Seeger, 36 years of age, who
was and had been for a number of years a resident of the Winfield
State Hospital and Training Center. Also surviving her were two
brothers, Clyde L. Smith and Glenn J. Smith, both residents of
Jennings, Kansas, and a sister-in-law, Mary Grote — a sister of
her deceased husband. Those three persons are the closest living
relatives of the incompetent son, who upon his death, would
constitute his sole heirs.
