WILL OF MARRIED WOMEN
The supreme court of the state
has affirmed the Judgment of the
district court for Bannook county
in the case of Thomas l.. Scott,
respondent VS.. Henry o. Hardness
appellant. The refusal of the pro-
bate court to probate the Geographic
will Of Catharine Hardness, de-
ceased, wife Of the appellant, was
affirmed by the district court, which
Judgment is affirmed BIZ the supreme
court. The court finds that mar
ried woman is not authorized by
the Idaho statutes to make an olo-
graphic will.
Two questions are presented to
us by the records IN this case.
Tirst-Can amarried woman make
an Geographic will under the stat.
utes of Idaho?
Second-Was the instrument al
legged in this case to be the will Of
Gatharine darkness, deceased, an
Geographic will?
As to the first questio1. A mar
ried woman could not MAKE a will
at common law. Her power to do
50 comes entirely from the statutes.
Until the revision of our statutes in
1887, there was no statute of wills
in Idaho. Section 1925 TO 5728 IN
elusive, revised statutes of Idaho,
are as follows:
