Estate of Blair
California Court of Appeal

1Opinion of the CourtDrapeau, J.
Alfred G. Blair and Susan Ann Blair were married June 30, 1915. Each of them had been married before, their first spouses having died. And each of them owned separate property at the time of their marriage.
The husband and wife lived in California until Mr. Blair died in 1950, and Mrs. Blair in 1951. She left no will. And it may fairly be inferred from the record that from the time of her husband’s death she was incompetent to make a will.
Mrs. Blair’s estate was appraised at $255,857.90. All of her estate came from property that had been vested in joint tenancy in her and her husband.
