Syllabus

<p>Adoption (11)—Inheritance by Adopted Child—Sisters. Under Rem. Code, § 1699, divesting natural parents of all legal rights and obligations in respect to an adopted child, and providing that the child shall be to all intents and purposes the legal heir of the adopter and entitled to all the rights and privileges of a natural child, an adopted child has the right to inherit from a brother or sister by adoption, in view of a liberal construction of the statute.</p> <p>Executors and Administrators (67)—Claims — Services Rendered Deceased. A claim against an estate for nursing the deceased, made by one who received regular pay for board, meets the requirement that the evidence for extra compensation must be of the clearest and most convincing character, where it appears that no part of the sums paid were for nursing, and that the guardian of the deceased had agreed to pay therefor.</p>
