| Description | Letters of administration granted, 20 August 1889. Behind these "letters" were a concursus of untoward events: one executor renounced probate; the other survived the testatrix, but not long enough to prove the Will; no residuary legatee named; M.R.'s husband survived her, but died without taking upon himself the administration of her personal estate; his son and executor renounced probate of his mother's will - it was left to a sister of the testatrix to take out letters eventually. The queer fact is that was an estate of £2,000. |
