CLAIM ON ESTATE

Widower Fails

A widower’s claim under the Family Protection Act for further provision from his wife’s estate was denied by Mr Justice Macarthur in a written decision issued yesterday in the Supreme Court. The applicant was Herbert David Yeatman. a factory foreman (Mr N- G. Hattaway), and the defendants were his late wife’s children by a previous marriage and the sole beneficiaries under her will. William Samuel Rogers, a maintenance engineer (Mr W. G. P. Cuningham) and Edna Mavis Butcher, a married woman (Mr P. G. S. Penlington).

His Honour said the small estate of Alice Yeatman,

who died on March 31, 1959. aged 71, was of a gross value of £2098. The Yeatmans had married in 1958 when he was 67 and she 65, both having married previously. There was a conflict of evidence on many points, and where there was conflict '.e preferred the evidence of the children, said his Honour. He rejected the suggestion that the estate had been built up by reason of Yeato n’s monetary contributions. His Honour said he considered the testatrix was under no moral duty to make any provision for her husbarid.
