Authors

Abstract

Reference has already been made to the difficulties arising when the widow has elected to take under the will, and for some reason or other, intestate property also remains to be disposed. Further difficulty arises in those cases where the widow elects to take against the will and yet claims to share in intestate property. Shall her claim be allowed under those circumstances?
