Freyermuth v. Speckter

By a holographic will dated October 1, 1941, the testator devised “To Otto Speckter or his Estate The Property at Clear Lake & Improvements on same.” Speckter, who was not related to the testator, died on July 1, 1943. The testator died on May 14, 1945. In the course of administration the property at Clear Lake was sold, and the decree of distribution awarded the proceeds of the sale “to the heirs or devisees of Otto Speckter, deceased, subject to the administration of his estate.” Appellants, executors and legatees under the will, appeal from the decree of distribution.
