Colonial Trust Co. v. Waldron

Lydia L. Adams, a resident of Winchester, died June 5th, 1929, leaving a will with codicil which were duly approved and admitted to probate and the plaintiff who was named as executor in the will duly qualified. The testatrix, who was the widow of Charles E. Adams, left neither father, mother nor descendants. Her only heir at law was the defendant Effie Ophelia Waldron, an adopted daughter. The executor is of the opinion that there will be a residuary estate to be disposed of after paying the expenses of the estate and satisfying the bequests.
