In re the Estate of Valentine

1Opinion of the Court
Foley, S.
In this contested accounting proceeding exceptions have been filed to the referee’s report in two respects only. (1) The first question involves the validity of the transfer of certain stock made by the decedent in 1915 to his wife and two daughters. The referee has found that the instruments evidencing these transfers were testamentary in character, that they were not executed in accordance with the formalities required of a will, and were, therefore, void. In my opinion, however, his conclusions are erroneous and the exceptions must be sustained.
