Delabarre v. Sees
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided October 15, 1913
158 A.D. 941; 143 N.Y.S. 1113
Delabarre v. Sees

Opinion of the Court

— Judgment and order reversed and new trial granted, costs to abide the final award of costs, on the ground that the proofs fall short of showing any undue influence by the appellant. Surmise and conjecture as to how the deceased came so violently to disagree with his brother do not sustain a verdict. A possibility that undue influence may have been used cannot justify setting aside a will upon that ground. Jenks, P. J., Burr, Thomas, Carr and Putnam, JJ., concurred.
