IN RE ESTATE OF TULLEY

No. 76-373.

86 Wis.2d 593 (1979)

237 N.W.2d 329

IN RE ESTATE OF TULLEY, Deceased: WAUKESHA STATE BANK, Personal Representative, Respondent, v. MOORE, Appellant.

Supreme Court of Wisconsin.

Decided January 9, 1979.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

For the appellant the cause was submitted on the brief of Homer J. Williams, attorney, and James R. Sommers and Hunter, Tikalsky & Steimel, of counsel, all of Waukesha.

For the respondent the cause was submitted on the brief of John C. Curran and Cramer, Multhauf & Curran of Waukesha.

WILLIAM G. CALLOW, J.

Jean Moore's claim against the estate of Theresa Tulley was based in part on a $5,000 check delivered along with two explanatory notes from the decedent to the claimant before the decedent's death. On this appeal we affirm the trial court's conclusion that the check constituted an invalid testamentary transfer because it failed to comply with the formalities of execution prescribed by the Statute of Wills, sec. 853.03, Stats.
