First Nat. Bank Boston v. Francis Et Al. by Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts Book Summary
RUGG, Chief Justice. This is an appeal from an order denying a motion for the framing of issues to be tried to a jury upon a petition for the allowance of an instrument as the will of a deceased person. The proposed issues now argued are whether the decedent was of sound mind at the time the proffered instrument was signed and was unduly influenced by named individuals in executing the instrument. The controlling principles of law are settled. They need not be restated. Fuller v. Sylvia, 240 Mass. 49, 133 N.E. 384; Cook v. Mosher, 243 Mass. 149, 137 N.E. 299; Clark v. McNeil, 246 Mass. 250, 140 N.E. 922; Daly v. Hussey, 275 Mass. 28, 174 N.E. 916; Cranston v. Hallock, 281 Mass. 182, 183 N.E. 351; Anderson v. Jackson, 286 Mass. 146, 189 N.E. 816. The decedent was somewhat over eighty years of age at the time the instrument was executed in February, 1932, and was possessed of considerable property wholly accumulated as a result of his industry and business capacity. He was almost eight-five years of age at the time of his death. His wife died in 1911 and there were no children. Three sisters and a brother survived him, to each of whom a substantial legacy was left. Three of these and a daughter of the fourth were among the seven residuary legatees. Other legatees were former employees, friends and charities. Between 1921 and 1932 he made four other wills. In each of thosethe sisters and brother as well as those alleged to have procured the execution of the last will by undue influence were named as legatees. Between five and six months after the instrument here in controversy was executed, a conservator was appointed over his property. The certificate of the physician stated that he was of advanced age but of sufficient mentality to know what he was doing in requesting the appointment of a conservator. There were statements of facts indicating declining mentality such as often accompanies old age. There were statements that some of those accused of exerting undue influence pandered to his appetites but none indicating incidents commonly connected with the unlawful procurement of the execution of a will. It would serve no useful purpose to narrate further the statements of expected evidence. There is no error in law in denying the motion for issues. Cummins v. McCawley, 241 Mass. 427, 135 N.E. 479; Old Colony Trust Co. v. Whitney, 269 Mass. 519, 169 N.E. 513; Harvey v. Knapp, 270 Mass. 354, 170 N.E. 75; Logan v. Driscoll, 278 Mass. 450, 180 N.E. 297; Bemis v. Andrews, 280 Mass. 409, 411, 182 N.E. 816. The case at bar is distinguishable from decisions like Smith v. Brewster, 247 Mass. 395, 142 N.E. 56, and Sheppard v. Olney, 271 Mass. 424, 171 N.E. 447.
