In re Hammond

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided May 22, 1914

147 N.Y.S. 884 (New York Supplement)

Counsel

Charles E. Kelley, of New York City, for appellant., John L. Wells, of New York City, for respondent.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

[1, 2] The petitioner has failed to establish that Arthur Lopez had in his possession at the time in question any such paper characterized as a will as the petitioner describes. Furthermore, the petitioner, having parted with all his interest in the estate of the decedent, was not a person interested in such estate under section 2621a of the Code of Civil Procedure.

The order appealed from will therefore be reversed, with $10 costs and disbursements, and the motion to require said Lopez to produce the paper in question denied, with $10 costs.
