In Re Estate of Fleigle
Superior Court of Pennsylvania
1Opinion of the Court
JOHNSON, Judge.
In these consolidated appeals, we are asked to determine whether an executor has standing to appeal an Orphans’ Court order that confirmed a First and Final Account of a decedent’s estate and directed the executor to distribute the estate to decedent’s daughter who was born after decedent wrote his *634will. Because we find that the executor has no beneficial interest in decedent’s estate, we quash his appeals. Further, we affirm the Orphans’ Court determination that decedent’s daughter was entitled to the entire estate as a pretermitted child, pursuant to 20 Pa.C.S. § 2507(4).
