WILLS-RIGHT OF BENEFICIARIES TO COMPROMISE SO AS TO DEFEAT PROVISIONS OF WILL-WAIVER OF BENEFIT

Authors

Abstract

Testator died leaving a valid will. The beneficiaries, who were also the heirs at law, presented a stipulation to the court, signed by all the parties in interest, agreeing that the will should not be admitted to probate; and the court refused the will. Later a dispute arose as to the settlement, and some of the beneficiaries brought a bill in equity to set aside the court order. Held, the agreement was supported by a valid consideration and is binding on the parties. Order of the court refusing probate upheld. In re Murphy's Estate, (Iowa 1934) 252 N. W. 523.
