New York Court of Appeals
In the Matter of Proving the Will of Mabel P. Daggett, Deceased. John D. Daggett, Appellant; Chatham Phenix National…
January 6, 1931255 N.Y. 243
Summary
The Court held that the Surrogate's Court of Orange County, not New York County, has exclusive jurisdiction to probate the will of Mabel P. Daggett because a married woman's domicile is that of her husband. Accordingly, the lower court's order allowing probate in New York County was reversed and the proceeding dismissed.
