In Re Estate of Cecchine

WIEAND, Judge:

This is an appeal from a decree of the Orphans’ Court Division in Delaware County which allowed a claim against a decedent’s estate for legal services allegedly rendered to the decedent during her lifetime. The father and natural guardian of the decedent’s four minor children contends on appeal (1) that the court erred in permitting the claimant to testify to legal services performed during the lifetime of the decedent, and (2) that the competent evidence was insufficient to support the court’s allowance of the claim. There is merit in both contentions. Therefore, we reverse.
