Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Maria L. Sveikauskas for the petitioner.

C. Edward Rowe for the respondent.

Present: TAURO, C.J., CUTTER, QUIRICO, BRAUCHER, & HENNESSEY, JJ.


HENNESSEY, J.

This petition was brought by the executor of the estate of Veronika Latvenas to determine ownership of three bank accounts. At the time of the testatrix's death, the accounts, totaling approximately $30,000, stood in the names of the testatrix and the respondent "payable to either or the survivor." The petitioner appeals from a final decree ruling that the respondent is the rightful owner of the three accounts.
