Syllabus

<p>Zfe'óédenís’ estates — Udntract—Implied 'contract — Family relation — Note—Undelivered note — Evidence.</p> <p>1. There is no implied contract to pay 'for services rendered to a decedent while the family relation exists between the parties.</p> <p>2. No obligation arises by reason of an executed but undelivered note found in the possession of the maker thereof.</p> <p>3. Unless some connection is shown between an undelivered note found in a decedent’s possession, and an alleged liability of decedent to the payee named in the note, the note is not evidence of such liability.</p> <p>4. Loose expressions of a decedent to the effect that the claimant had worked faithfully for him, conjoined with the fact that an undelivered note in the claimant’s favor was found in decedent’s possession, will not alone justify an award for services rendered.</p>
