In re Wanninger's Estate
New York Surrogate's Court
An alleged will of Anna Wanninger, produced for probate by Charles W. Wanninger, her son, who was by the will appointed sole executor, is contested by Peter W. Wanninger and Anna Metzger, other children of the deceased. The proponent petitions for the appointment of a temporary administrator.
1Opinion of the Court
Ransom, S.
Application for appointment of temporary administrator pending the contest. The executor seeks to be appointed. All parties are agreed that a temporary administrator should be named, but the contestants object '.to the executor, because lie is charged with unduly influencing the decedent .in making the will. This objection is well taken. Cornwell v. Cornwell, 1 Dem. Sur. 1; Haas v. Childs, 4 Dem. Sur. 137. Let an order be presented .for the appointment of a temporary administrator other than the executor.
