Analysis

No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.

Opinion

[1] It is the opinion of the court that there is enough evidence in this case to uphold the finding of the trial court that at the time of the making of the will the testatrix was not competent to remember her affairs sufficiently to make a will or to remember her relatives and keep the matter in mind long enough to complete the task. Upon that ground the judgment of the court below is affirmed.

The court expresses no opinion as to the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain the finding that the will was not properly executed.

The judgment is affirmed.
