In re Estate of Daniel Ralston

Opinion by JUDGE BABCOCK Petitioners appeal the order of the trial court which denied their motion to set aside an order appointing a personal representative in intestate administration. We affirm. In February 1963, Daniel Ralston executed a will naming Naomi Jean Anderson, a/k/a Jean Phillips, as residuary beneficiary, with the remainder to her children by her previous marriage. Phillips and her children are petitioners in this case. No specific bequest or devise was made in the will. The will specifically provided that Ralston's mother, brothers, and sisters take nothing by the will. The will stated that Ralston was unmarried and made no reference to future or contemplated marriage.
