New York Court of Appeals

Maria De La Salud Oviedo Younger, Respondent v. Mary Ann Pelton Duffie, Impleaded

January 29, 188494 N.Y. 535

Summary

The Court affirmed the lower court's decision that the plaintiff's complaint sufficiently alleged a cause of action to establish a will under section 1861 of the Code of Civil Procedure. It held that the testator's signature, placed after the notary's clause, satisfied the statutory requirement that the subscription be at the end of the will.
