Fetterhoff's Estate
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided July 1, 1910 · Brown, Elkin, Mestrezat, Moschzisker, Potter
228 Pa. 535; 77 A. 826; 1910 Pa. LEXIS 521

Fetterhoff's Estate

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

The religious and charitable bequests and devises of the testatrix are void for her failure to have the execution of her will attested by two credible and, at the time, disinterested witnesses, as required by the Act of April 26, 1855, P. L. 328. Under Kessler’s Est., 221 Pa. 314, no one of the three attesting witnesses was disinterested. Nothing more need be said, and the decree is affirmed at appellants’ costs.
