Supreme Court of Vermont
Decided May 2, 1923PublishedCited by 8 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtPowers, J.
Jennie E. Martin, late of Calais, died intestate, leaving as next of kin, three grandchildren: Alice E. Martin, Bourke Martin, and Ned Martin. Alice E. is the daughter of Earle Martin; the others are the sons of Charles Martin. The probate court, by the decree appealed from, distributed the estate of Jennie E., by dividing it into three equal parts, and giving one of these parts to each of the grandchildren. The appellant, the guardian of Alice E., claims that the distribution should have been per stirpes, and not per capita. The casé comes here by direct appeal under G. L. 3451.
