Wealthy Man Welder's Estate Tax Case Heads to Court
Texas Comptroller and Attorney General probe whether Victoria County magnate John J. Welder died a pauper or left a fortune of 10 to 15 million dollars. Welder deeded most property to his wife before death, sparking claims of tax evasion on an inheritance levy potentially over 250 thousand dollars. State seeks to nullify the transfer and force taxation amid recent large estates from Geo F. Perkins and Harold Sewall, with substantial Texas Company holdings among the assets.
