Legal Notes on Proving Claims Against Decedents’ Estates
A Third Department Appellate Division decision discusses proving claims for services as a night watchman against a decedent’s estate. The court allowed a questioning latitude about predeath services, despite evidentiary limits, and noted the difficulties in establishing such claims. A separate case involves alleged fraud by a Holland Coffee Company salesman, where an arrest order was vacated for lack of corroborating affidavit and the plaintiff had no proper action against the defendant. The judge indicated Banker, not the plaintiff, would have the best fraud claim and advised the proper party to sue for goods sold.
