In Re Will of Collins
Supreme Court of Delaware
1Opinion of the Court
HERRMANN, Justice:
The Orphans’ Court affirmed the action of the Register of Wills in denying probate of the Will of Estelle B. Collins on the ground that she lacked the testamentary capacity to execute the Will. The proponent of the Will appeals.
The proponent contended in the Orphans’ Court, and now contends here, (1) that, under Nardo v. Nardo, Del., 209 A.2d 905 (1965), she was entitled to a rehearing of the evidence on appeal to the Orphans’ Court; but if not, (2) that the record made before the Register shows that he committed reversible error in finding lack of testamentary capacity.
