Jahnke v. Selle

Supreme Court of Illinois
Feb 16, 1938
13 N.E.2d 983 (Ill. 1938)

Opinion

No. 24311. Judgment affirmed.

Opinion filed February 16, 1938. Rehearing denied April 6, 1938.

APPEAL from the Circuit Court of DuPage county; the Hon. WILLIAM J. FULTON, Judge, presiding.

VERNE B. SELLE, pro se, appellant.

GEORGE H. PEAKS, and WILLARD E. CAIN, for appellee.


Herman Jahnke, administrator of the estate of Charles J. Jahnke, filed a final report in the probate court of DuPage county, together with a petition for distribution in the estate to the four surviving aunts and uncles of the intestate. Verne Selle, a son of a deceased uncle of the intestate, filed objections to the report and an answer and a counter-petition to the petition for distribution, all of which were dismissed by the probate court. He then appealed to the circuit court of DuPage county. This appeal was also dismissed upon the motion of the administrator. The case comes here by direct appeal, a constitutional question having been alleged to exist.

The questions raised in appellant's answer and counter-petition were also raised by him in his appeal to this court from a decree of partition of the real estate of the intestate by the circuit court of DuPage county and were decided against him in Jahnke v. Selle (ante, p. 268.) On the authority of that decision we hold that the probate court properly ordered the personal property to be distributed to the four surviving aunts and uncles of the intestate. Since appellant had no interest in the estate, his objections to the report of the administrator were likewise properly overruled by the probate court, and the circuit court correctly dismissed his appeal as to both matters.

The judgment of the circuit court of DuPage county is affirmed.

Judgment affirmed.
