Supreme Court of Arkansas.

Rehearing Denied March 26, 1973.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Joe W. McCoy, Malvern, for appellants.

GEORGE ROSE SMITH, Justice.

P. B. Porterfield, aged 90, died in July, 1971, survived by his widow, five sons, and a daughter. In this litigation two of the sons, the appellants, claim ownership of two certificates of deposit that were in their father's possession at the time of his death. The probate court held the certificates to be part of the estate, there having been no completed gift to the appellants. We agree with the probate court.
