In re THORPE'S ESTATE. WAKEMAN et al. v. BULTMAN et al.

Supreme Court of South Dakota.

May 8, 1954.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Bogue & Masten, Canton, for contestants-appellants.

T. R. Johnson, Sioux Falls, for proponents-respondents.


PER CURIAM.

The probate of the purported will of Ada Thorpe, deceased, was opposed on the grounds that (1) she was not competent to make a will, (2) it was not duly executed and attested, and (3) the signing of the instrument was accomplished by undue influence and fraud. The evidence was conflicting upon all of these issues. These conflicts were resolved by the trial court in favor of the proponents, and the will was admitted to probate.
