Will fight hearing closes in probate dispute in Bridgeport
Superior Court Judge John C Fitzgerald gave two weeks for brief filings in the appeal from probate of Nettie G Krupka of Trumbull against the estate of Samuel G Krupka. The estate, valued over 760000, was left to three children by a previous marriage, excluding the wife who had signed a 50 000 bequest before marriage. The wife argues the agreement is void due to lack of full asset disclosure. Bridgeport probate court upheld the contract and barred a widow’s election. The six day trial closed with final arguments. Krupka owned Ostermoor and Co Inc of 249 George Street and a Chicago plant.
