Appeal From Ruling Of Judge Nye In Spolaric Patlacek Will
An appeal from Probate Judge H H Nye's construction of Barbara Spolaric Patlacek's will was filed in common pleas court by Ignatius Fuss. The Lorain home was to pass to husband Steve Patlacek with support and education for the children Anna Catherine and Barbara Spo laric. The administrator Joseph Rebek asked the probate court to interpret the will, contending Steve Patlacek failed to provide support. The court ruled the children were to benefit and remaining Lorain sale proceeds go to the three children. Steve Patlacek has since died and the suit continues for his heirs.
