SUCCESSION OF PORCHE

No. 53420.

288 So.2d 27 (1973)

Successions of Duffy (Dolphe) Raphael PORCHE and Catherine Louise Loyacano Porche. Duffy R. PORCHE, Jr., and Dorothy Porche Polozola, Opponents-Appellees-Relators, v. Katherine Porche MOUCH, Proponent-Appellant-Respondent.

Supreme Court of Louisiana.

Rehearing Denied January 11, 1974.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Louis D. Curet, D'Amico & Curet, Baton Rouge, for plaintiffs-applicants.

Warren L. Mengis, Mengis, Durant & Carpenter, Baton Rouge, for defendant-respondent.

TATE, Justice.

This proceeding involves the validity of a statutory will. The testator Porche executed it in attempted compliance with the provisions of La.R.S. 9:2442 (1952, as amended 1964). By the will, one of Porche's three children was given an extra portion and made testamentary executrix.

In the trial court, the other two children successfully opposed the probate of the will. The court of appeal, however, reversed and held the will to be valid.
