Jury rules against disputed will in Disbennet case
In Logan on Saturday a Common Pleas Court jury quickly voided the late George Dis bennet of Union Furnace will in a contest by Donald Disbennet against Clyde Disbennet. The verdict found the instrument not the decedent's last will and testament due to his inability to determine property in his final illness. Medical testimony supported the claim the elder Dis bennet could not properly understand his estate.
