Caveat Petition Filed

Catherine R. Phillips filed a
petition for caveat against the
will dated June IA, 1888. To this
petition the executors under the
will Of June IA, 1888, filed a mo-
ton to dismiss and the cause now
comes on for hearing on said pc
tition for caveat and the motion
to dismiss.
1t is contended by the executors
that the said Catherine r. Phil
lips has no interest in the will,
now sought to be probated be-
cause she is not, under our code,
Section. 1877, "a party in interest"
She has no interest. either by
devise, bequest or relationship
to the will and estate in question
and cite Angel V. Croft, ~ App.
D. c. 1893; AZ w. L. r. 1853. THE
interest which person must pos
sess to enable him to asSail the
validity of will is such that had
testator died interstate, he would
have been entitled to a distribu
tive share in the estate"
The caveator contends that she
is a legatee under a will of Wal
ter j. Pilling, deceased, which will
she claims to be the last will and
testament of said decedent, and
the caveat is filed against an al
legged last will and testament
dated June IA, 1888. the caveator
says that the preceding will dated
October 13. 1921. is the only
genuine last will of the decedant
The caveat is filed under Sec
1877 of the Code of the District
of Columbia which provides that
ANY person in interest" may file
a caveat. The motion to dismiss
is filed by the executors nomi-
mated in the pretended will dated
June IA, 1893. If that will is
upheld, the caveator would lose
a legacy of $1,000 left her in the
will of october Is, 1921. which
she says is the only will Of dece
dent.

Reasons Are Listed

After the aforesaid, the reasons
are set forth in six paragraphs
and in paragraph five the cavea-
tor says, That said decedent,
Walter J. Pilling, by last and
valid will and testament, being
his only existing last will and tes-
lament, legally executed by him
on the thirteenth day of Octo-
Der, A. D. 1921. and on file in the
office of the Register of Wills of
the District of Columbia, be-
queathed to your petitioner a le-
gacy of seven thousand dollars
$4,000 and one.half interest in
the real estate business of said
decedent, and your petitioner is
entitled to have said will and tes-
lament admitted to probate and
record as the last will and tesla.
ment of the said Walter j. Pilling,
to the exclusion of any other will
and to the exclusion of the said
paper writing bearing date on the
fourteenth day of June, A. D.
1888"
Mr.. Justice Daniel w. O'Dono.
ghue overruled the motion to dis.
miss and permitted the caveat to
be filed.
The caveator was represented
by Crandall Mackey and the ex
ecutorS by Michael M. Doyle.

Heirs Rights Defined

In the case of Ruth v. Crone,
10 Cal. App. ITO. the Court said,
Clearly and concededly an heir
has the legal right to contest the
will of his ancestor and with equal
right legatee under prior will
may contest a later will exciud-
ing him, whether there is tenaDle
ground upon which to case the
exercise of that right or not. The
heir or legatee may not succeed
because of paucity of proof to
sustain his contest in setting aside
the will, yet the right to attempt
to do so by appropriate proceed
ings is one Of which cannot be
Invested by any means of which
we have any knowledge"
In the case of Kostelecky V.
Scherhart, 80 Iowa, 100, "A de-
visee under a will which has not
been probated may, though not
an heir, contest q later will which
has been probated where she
claims in the contest that the
first will is entitled to probate"
Mcdonald v. Mcdonald ct al,
1872 Indiana SIS, Amy or all per-
sons who are devisees or legatees
under the lost will of a testator
have such an interest as will au-
thorize them to contest the val.
idity of another will upon the
proper grounds whereby the same
estate is in whole or in part at.
fected by the order under which
the claim is sought or attempted
to be distributed. Malcolm s.
being interested as a devisee or
legatee in the supposed lost but
genuine will had a legal right to
join in the action"
1t is alleged by the executors
in the motion to dismiss the
caveator's statement that she is
a party in interest is a mere con.
clusion in law. Attention Is
called to Paragraph of the peti,
ton for caveat which says And
your petitioner is a party in in,
terest and will be injuriously at,
fected by the allowance and ad.
mission of said will to probate
and record because the said paper
writing should not be admitted to
probate and record for the fol
lowing reasons"

June s, 1884.
In the cause, In Re. Walter j.
Pilling, deceased. Administration
No. 1856, it appears that one
Walter j. Pilling died in the Dis
trict of Columbia on the twenty
first day of August, 1888. leaving
a last will and testament dated
June IA, 1893. which has been
filed in the office of the Register
of Wills in this court. In this
will, decedent revokes any and
all Wills by him heretofore made.
After making several requests
and devisees. decedent left all
of his property to his wife. Sub
sequently the executors named
therein filed a petition praying
the admission to probate and rec
ord of this will. All of the de-
cedent'S next of kin and heirs at
law have either voluntarily or
through process of this court con.
Sented to the admission of this
will for probate and record.
Catherine R. Phillips, who claims
to be a party in interest in this
cause, is not an heir at law nor
next of kin, nor is she in any
wise mentioned, identified or a
party in interest to this will.
There was also filed with the
register of wills paper writing.
dated March 9, 1914, purporting
to be a last will and testament
Of said decedent and another
paper writing. dated the 18th day
of October, 1921. purporting to be
the last will and testament of the
decedent. In the last mentioned
paper writing there appears a be-
quest to Catherine Rose Phillips
in the sum of seven thousand
dollars $1,000 dollars.

Has Interest Denied

It is claimed by the executors
that the caveator Is not a party
in interest and an attempt is
made to support such claim by
two decisions of the Court Of
Appeals. The first decision be-
ing that of Angel VS.. Croft, AZ
App. D. c. 1913. That was case
in which a grandchild Of the
testator whose father was not
shown to be dead, filed a caveat.
Since the father was living at
the date of the death of the tes-
tator, the father of the child be-
ing a son of the testator. the
child was held to have no inter-
est in the estate, since no one is
heir to the living.
The other case cited in support
of the motion to dismiss is that
of Parks v. Calvert, Sc App. 38l
That was a case where there were
three wills and caveat had beer
filed to the first will and the is
sues were disposed of. The seconc
will was not offered for probate
and the third will was admitted
to probate and the Court of APP
peals held that the petitioner was
attempting to revive issues raised
on the first will and on the las
will that had been admitted tx
probate.
1t has never been held by thu
Court of Appeals of the DiStric
of Columbia, or any court. that 4
legatee could not file a caveat
because the statute in the DiStric
of Columbia is like the statute ir
most, if not all the States. which
provide that any person having ar
! interest in the estate may contes
