Opinion
Gen. No. 9,609. (Abstract of Decision.)
Opinion filed February 14, 1941
ESTATES OF DECEDENTS, § 36 — executrix' delay in seeking appointment, excuse. Trial court properly revoked letters issued to public administrator and granted letters to executrix, where it appeared that her delay in seeking to have will admitted to probate was caused by an attempt to locate a certain heir, and because of the illness of executrix' attorney, and both former and present statutes gave court discretion for good cause shown to disregard failure to secure order to probate a will within time specified (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1939, ch. 3, § 214; Jones Ill. Stats. Ann. 110.311).
See Callaghan's Illinois Digest, same topic and section number.
