Decided January 4, 1966PublishedCited by 7 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtCurrie, C. J.

We consider these issues are presented by the instant appeal:(1) Does the county court possess the discretion to deny a petition for widow’s allowance where it finds that the widow possesses sufficient financial resources derived • from her deceased husband to provide herself with comfortable support during the probate of her husband’s estate?(2) If the foregoing question is answered in the affirmative, did the instant order denying the petition for an allowance constitute an abuse of discretion ?(3) Is the order dismissing the petition for removal of the executors an appealable order?
