In Re Estate Of Julie H. Pitt

Julie H. Pitt died testate leaving as her heir at law, A. C. Kalkbrenner, Appellant, and as the principal beneficiary of her Will, Guy Anderson, Appellee. Prior to the time of her death, her estate had been administered by Appellee in the capacity of Guardian. Upon Mrs. Pitt's death, Guy Anderson, named Executor in her Will, petitioned the Superior Court to admit the will to probate. Kalkbrenner opposed the petition, alleging as grounds that decedent's signature to her purported will had been obtained by Anderson by means of undue influence. At the trial of the Will contest, the jury rendered a verdict for the contestant, and the Will was not admitted to probate.
