Matter of Elias

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Dec 1, 1927
222 App. Div. 728 (N.Y. App. Div. 1927)

Opinion

December, 1927.

Present — Finch, Merrell, McAvoy and Proskauer, JJ.


Orders reversed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements, and motion to vacate decree denied, with ten dollars costs. The contestants have not shown facts sufficient to afford a substantial basis for contesting the will and that reasonable probability of success to justify the opening of a decree admitting a will to probate. ( Matter of Leslie, 175 App. Div. 108, 112.) Certain inferences upon which respondents rely either have been shown not to exist or have been satisfactorily explained.
