In re Simpson's Estate

JACK F. WHITE, County Judge.

Wanda Louise Simpson, who elected to take dower in her deceased husband’s estate, has petitioned the court for an order requiring the executor to pay from estate funds the amount of a claim which was filed but later withdrawn when the claimant, decedent’s mother, chose to rely exclusively on the security of a mortgage on property which was the decedent’s homestead at the time of his death. The executor filed an answer denying any obligation on the part of the estate. The cause came on for hearing and was ably argued by counsel for the respective parties.
