Executor seeks partial distribution of estate under will
In a probate petition the widow seeks court authorization to distribute part of the estate she controls. She reports $12,493.74 on hand, with $9,426.21 destined to her by the will if allowed. She also holds promissory notes over $12,000, some secured, plus rent claims and a $22,000 unsecured claim, which she says is unjust as the estate’s value exceeds that amount. Judge Cliney paused the Stevenson murder jurors until Monday and summoned ex-public administrator King James Murphy as a special juror.
