Estes v. Estes

On November 1, 1944, Miss Mary E. Estes, an elderly lady, died in Panola County, Mississippi, leaving a brother, R. W. Estes, and two sisters, Miss Caroline Wallace Estes and Mrs. Jennie Estes McG-ehee, as her sole surviving heirs-at-law. Shortly thereafter, there was probated in common form, in the chancery clerk’s office of said county, an instrument of writing, which was wholly written and subscribed by the said Miss Mary E. Estes, reading as follows:

“March 1939

“I give to my sister Caroline Wallace Estes everything I own (real and personal) without bond.

“ [Signed] Mary E. Estes.”
