CLAIM ON ESTATE
Award Made To Daughter Mr Justice Wilson, in the Supreme Court . yesterday awarded Rena Evelyn Laurenson a life interest in a house property—part of her mother’s estate—and awarded her the house contents outright.' He also ordered that £5OO from the estate be set aside to pay rates, insurance and, at the executor’s discretion, maintenance of the house during Mrs Laur.ensoh’s lifetime. His Honour said- he had taken into account the modest size of the estate (£4000) and the plaintiff’s circumstances in making the award. Mrs Laurenson (Mr E. S. Bowie) had brought actions under the Family Protection Act and the Testamentary Promises Act against the will of her mother. His Honour made the award under the Family Protection Act. The action under the Testamentary Promises Act failed. The defendants were Ronald Wilfred Boulton, executor (Mr P. H. T. Alpers), as first defendant; Mavis Ranui Lowry, Frances Amy Baxter (Mr Alpers), Robin Frengley (Mr W. A. Anderson), second defendants; Josephine Frengley (Mr Anderson), third defendant; and Linton Edgar Boulton (Mr N. S. Murchison) fourth defendant.
