Tyson's Estate
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
Tyson's Estate, 9 A.2d 733 (Pa. 1939)
336 Pa. 497; 1939 Pa. LEXIS 547
Kephart, Schaefer, Maxey, Drew, Linn, Stern, Barnes
Tyson's Estate
Opinion of the Court
The court below held that a letter from decedent to his sister, stating “I am making out my will leaving my securities to you,” where no such will was found, did not itself constitute a will. As the writing manifestly referred to another paper as decedent’s will, the decision of the court below is clearly correct, and no discussion is necessary. See Stein’s Lessee v. North, *498 3 Yeates 324, 325; McCune’s Estate, 265 Pa. 523, 528; Kaufman’s Estate, 283 Pa. 375, 377.
Decree affirmed at appellant’s cost.
