NO PROVISION UNDER HUSBAND’S WILL
WIDOW RECEIVES WHOLE OF ESTATE
An application, under the Family Protection Act, 1908, for provision from her husband’s estate was made by Alice Maud Mary Andersen in the Supreme Court yesterday. The plaintiff was represented by Mr A. W. Brown. The defendants, Enoch Coffin and the Stewards Trust of New Zealand Incorporated, were represented by Mr J. H. Polson.
Mr Brown said that the testator, Christian Theodor Julius Andersen, a retired master mariner, died on August 22, 1946, at the age of 86. His will was made on August 30, 1944, and he left the whole of his estate to the two defendants. The widow received no benefit under the will. The estate was valued at £560 and consisted of property and a motor-car. Mr Brown said that the defendants had agreed that the whole of the estate should go to the widow.
Mr Justice Fleming said he thought that was a very proper thing to do, and he confirmed the arrangements made. An order was made that the whole of the testator’s estate go to his widow, the plaintiff.
