Dean, Fell, Green, McCollum, Mitchell, Stekrett, Williams
Estate of Weaver
Opinion of the Court
We quite agree with what was said by'the learned president of the orphans’ court in overruling appellant’s exceptions and confirming the auditor’s report. We find nothing in the record that would justify a reversal or modification of the decree; nor is there anything in either of the questions presented by the specifications of error that requires discussion. For reasons given in the opinion of the court below the decree is affirmed and appeal dismissed at appellant’s costs.

- Syllabus
- Decedent's estate — Claims for services — Evidence. Claims for services against a decedent’s estate, not made during the lifetime of the decedent, are looked upon by the courts with a great deal of suspicion, and in order to establish such a claim the evidence must be other than that of mere loose declarations, and must be such as to clearly and distinctly establish a contract, either express or implied, between the claimant and the decedent.
