Donnan v. Donnan

LOZIER, Commissioner.

This is a contest of the will of A. C. Donnan. The verdict was for plaintiffs-contestants and judgment was entered setting the will aside. Defendants-proponents appealed. The record affirmatively shows both that title to real estate is involved and that “the amount in dispute, exclusive of costs, exceeds” $7500. This court has appellate jurisdiction. Art. V, Sec. 3, Const., 2 V.A.M.S. p. 31; Davis v. Davis, Mo., 252 S.W.2d 521, 522[1].

We shall refer to the parties, respectively, as contestants and proponents. All section references are to both RSMo 1949, V.A.M.S.
