Emmons v. Hartford National Bank & Trust Co.

In this pending appeal from probate, William C. Bendig, hereinafter called the applicant, has filed a “Motion to Be Made Party to Appeal” in which he alleges that the appeal concerns the validity of a will of the decedent; that this will provides that certain property and money are to be left the applicant; and that the outcome of this appeal will affect his property rights. He prays “that he be allowed to appeal in said case and present evidence.” Seemingly, the applicant is equating the right to be made a party in a pending appeal and the right to take an appeal.
