Description
Frederick D. Berkeley died on February 12, 1962, leaving a last will and testament which was admitted to probate on May 18, 1962, over the objections of his widow, Madeline T. Berkeley, hereinafter referred to as the contestant. In the Superior Court, the contestant amended her reasons of appeal so that her sole reason of appeal was that the decedent's will, executed on October 26, 1961, was revoked by the birth of a child on April 29, 1962, because the will made no provision for such a contingency within the requirements of 45-162 of the General Statutes, printed in the footnote.1 A demurrer to the contestant's amended reason of appeal, incorrectly termed an amended complaint, was sustained on the basic ground that the ""statutory requirement . . . is fully met by the language of the will before the court."" The contestant failed to plead over, and judgment was rendered for the proponents. The effect of this judgment was to affirm the decree of the Probate Court admitting the will as a valid testamentary instrument.
