    287 So. 2d 9 (Fla. 1973)   Cited 7 times

    She employed the law firm of Collins and Clark to contest the will of 1966 on the grounds of undue influence and to propose the will of 1960. L.C. Crofton was the named executor in the will of 1960 and proposed said will for probate simultaneous with contesting the will of 1966. The lower court admitted the will of 1966 to probate and denied probate to the will of 1960. Upon appeal of this decision, the DCA-4 affirmed the trial court's judgment and found there to have been no undue influence upon the decedent in the execution of the 1966 will [ 248 So.2d 186]. This Court denied certiorari, reported at 252 So.2d 798. The trial court in admitting the will executed by decedent on October 14, 1966, reserved for future determination in separate proceeding by that court's order of June 18, 1970, the awarding of court costs. Subsequent to the above appeals, Bessie Baillie, contestant of the 1966 will and proponent of the 1960 will, and L.C. Crofton, Executor and proponent of the will of 1960, petitioned the lower court for attorneys' fees and costs.
