Katz v. Sinkovitz

Mrs. Sara S. Katz, as administratrix of the estate of Nathan Sinkovitz, brought this suit against Mrs. Lizzie Bressler Sinkovitz,
seeking to recover certain designated property, an accounting, and other relief. In the petition it is alleged: that the defendant
is the mother of the petitioner and the widow of the deceased; that Nathan Sinkovitz died in March, 1943; that the petitioner
has resided out of the State of Georgia since 1935 until August, 1947; that the defendant, as the mother of the plaintiff,
exercised a control over the will of the plaintiff; that the plaintiff had the utmost confidence in the defendant and often
went to her for advice; that, after the interment of the deceased, the defendant came and lived with the petitioner in Virginia
for a few months, and while there, in reply to inquiries by the petitioner, the defendant stated that Nathan Sinkovitz died
leaving no estate, but died intestate and insolvent; that petitioner, having confidence in her mother, made no further inquires
as to whether or not Nathan Sinkovitz, her father, left any estate; that, when she returned to Atlanta to live, she discovered
that her father had left a considerable estate. The petition then sets out in detail the property which it is alleged belonged to Nathan Sinkovitz when he died. It is then
alleged that the defendant had in her name at the death of the deceased the home place, and had in her possession all of the
household furniture and furnishings, all of which was a part of the estate of Nathan Sinkovitz. It is then alleged, "all of
the property owned by the deceased at the time of his death was in the name of the defendant and E. I. Sinko and R. A. Sinko";
that, after the death of Nathan Sinkovitz, the defendant went into possession of all of the property in her name. It appears
from the petition that the transfers of property from E. I. Sinko and R. A. Sinko occurred some three years after the death
of Nathan Sinkovitz.
