OPINION

DORIS, Judge.

This is an appeal from a Superior Court order in a probate proceeding, granting the appellee’s motion to dismiss the appellant’s claim of appeal and denying the appellant’s motion to file a belated appeal. We reject the appellant’s challenge and affirm the order of the Superior Court.

On September 7, 1961, Madeleine Judge executed a document purporting to be her last will and testament. In that document she named her son, Philip G. Judge (appel-lee), executor and her daughter, Grace J. Waz (formerly Janicki) (appellant), alternate executrix.
