TILLMAN PEARSON, Judge

(dissenting).

I must respectfully dissent from the decision on this appeal. In this case, the trial judge has raised the presumption referred to in the above-cited cases to the status of an irrebuttable presumption of fact. I would recognize the presumption but hold that it was rebutted upon authority of In Re Joiner’s Estate, Fla.1963, 156 So.2d 161, 162.
