1915 Pa. Super. LEXIS 133
Head, Henderson, Kephart, Orlady, Rice, Trexler
Henkel's Estate
Opinion of the Court
This case is so well stated in the opinion filed by the learned president judge of the orphans’ court, that no good purpose would be subserved by attempting to restate it. The question is interesting, and a good deal can be said on both sides of it, but after full consideration of it we all concur in the conclusions reached by the orphans’ court, and for the reasons given in Judge Over’s opinion.
The decree is affirmed: costs of each appeal to be paid by the appellant.

- Husband, and wife — Agreement of separation — Reconciliation—Marital rights after reconciliation. A reconciliation between a husband and wife abrogates the covenants of an agreement of separation so far as the agreement is not executed unless there is an agreement that it shall not be abrogated. If the covenants releasing the interest of each in the estate of the other are executory so that effect cannot be given to them until the death of either the husband or wife, a reconciliation before such death occurs restores to the parties their marital rights in the estate of which either dies possessed.
