Hopping v. Wood

ROBERTSON, Judge.

Frank L. Hopping, Executor, brought this action on behalf of the estate of his deceased wife, Kathleen C. Hopping, (Greathouse) for the récovery of a coin collection and certain U.S. treasury notes in the possession of the decedent's daughter, Patricia G. Wood. Both parties moved for summary judgment. The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of the ap-pellee-defendant Wood, concluding that the decedent had made a gift inter vivos of the coin collection and treasury notes which had been stored in a safety deposit box leased by the decedent in Wood's name.
