In re Proving the Last Will & Testament of Rounds
New York Surrogate's Court
Proceedings upon probate of a will.
1Opinion of the Court
Eggleston, S.
One of tbe objections urged against tEe probate of tbe proposed will is tbe want of testamentary capacity upon tbe part of tbe deceased to make a valid will.
Tbe instrument offered for probate bears date January 18, 1898, but, in fact, was signed and executed by tbe testatrix on tbe following day.
Mrs. Rounds died five days after tbe execution of tbe will, and was at tbe .time living with, and being eared for by, Mrs. Moore, who lived at Cortland, N. Y., at a place, known as *566Tbe Woman’s Riverside Home/’ at which place she had been living s-ince some time in the-previous September.
