Gen. No. 9,279. (Abstract of Decision.)
Opinion filed April 14, 1941
ESTATES OF DECEDENTS, § 295 — claims, money advanced for support of mother. Claimant, who was deceased's son, was properly held unable to recover funds advanced his mother more than 30 years before claim was asserted, as statute of limitations barred claim where there was no subsequent promise to pay, and an expression of gratitude by the mother was neither an express nor implied promise that the money would be repaid, but claimant was properly allowed to recover later sums advanced for his mother's support, as jury could properly find that such advances were in the nature of a loan rather than a gift.
