Soldier wills and estate cases stir high courts
A Seattle judge rules in a soldier death estate case that a niece inherits 9000 dollars after a mother’s death left the beneficiary slot vacant. The ruling cites Caesar era precedents and cites a New York case where an heir challenged proof of death. An English armistice death similarly validates a fiancee as sole beneficiary despite lack of will.
