Large fortune in a name change case revealed
Thomas Maling of Beloit Wisconsin seeks to change his name to Smith to inherit a 200000 estate in Enland. A Racine attorney handles the matter after Maling studied the will found 20 pages long handwritten from 1859. The trust would pay income for 1000 years to the eldest son of the eldest son or, if no lineal heir, to the nearest relative who adopts the Smith name. Dew’s death voids the male line and shifts to a Smith successor if allowed. Maling is about 69 and has lived in Beloit 30 years.
