Blodgett's Estate
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided May 23, 1916 · Frazer, Moschzisker, Potter, Stewart, Walling
254 Pa. 210; 98 A. 876; 1916 Pa. LEXIS 708

Blodgett's Estate

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

We agree with the conclusion of the court below, that the coal royalties in question belonged to the widow, as life-tenant of the estate of her former husband, and as such they passed directly to her. As there were no debts of the husband, the intervention of the executor was un*215necessary. See Duffy’s Est., 209 Pa. 390. The order of the court below, refusing petition to compel the executrix to account, is affirmed.
