Powers' Appeal From Probate

The proceeding to which the motion is addressed is one instituted under the provisions of section 4990 of the General Statutes, Revision of 1930, which authorises anyone who is aggrieved “by any order, denial or decree of a court of probate”, to appeal to this court. Of appeals taken under this section it is said: “No person has the right to appeal except a person aggrieved, and no person can be aggrieved within the meaning of the statute, unless he is interested in the estate, either as a creditor, legatee or heir at law, or in some pecuniary manner.” Spencer’s Appeal, 122 Conn. 327, 332.…
