Matter of Estate of Henrich

SNELL, Judge.

Decedent Martin V. Henrich died of cancer on March 28, 1983, at the age of 85, having never married nor had any children. He lived and worked in the Akron, Iowa area throughout his life. He had eleven brothers and sisters, four of whom predeceased him, and approximately fifty nieces and nephews. In 1974, Martin executed a will naming his great-nephew, James Hen-rich of Akron, Iowa, as executor. This will divided his estate equally among his nieces and nephews. Martin’s attorney at this time was Richard Bauerly, and it was he who prepared the will.

James W. Henrich has always lived…
