Weinstein v. Boyd

Mrs. Sarah E. Boyd, by her will dated April, 1904, appointed her son, J. Cookman Boyd, executor, and authorized and empowered said executor

“without the permission, aid or intervention of any court whatsoever, to sell, mortgage, or otherwise dispose of any of my property aforesaid, and to invest the proceeds from the sale of same, as to him shall seem right and proper for the best interest of my estate.”

The will could not be found after the death of Mrs. Boyd, who died on April 19th, 1917, but about two years later a copy thereof was admitted to probate by the Orphans’ Court of Baltimore City.…
