In re Estate of Wells

Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco

1Opinion of the CourtCoffey, J.

Upon the facts in evidence it must he concluded that the premises sought to be set apart constitute community property.

The property is not susceptible of partition. The authorities cited by executors are not in point in an application of this character. The widow is entitled to a homestead, even if it consumed the entire estate, irrespective of the claims of creditors, and notwithstanding that there are no minor children.

It does not appear here that the estate is insolvent. All the children are adults. The statement of facts in the opening brief of applicants seems to be correct.
