Syllabus

<p>Wills — Testamentary capacity — Undue influence — Issue devisavit vel non — Refusal.</p> <p>An issue devisavit vel non asked for on the ground of alleged testamentary incapacity was properly refused where it appeared that although testatrix was prostrated with grief and shock at the death of her sister, she prepared her will with the assistance of her physician, who did not benefit by it, and that she was active in the direction of her business affairs up until the time when she made her will, and where it appeared that the chief beneficiary was peculiarly close and useful to deceased for some years prior to her death, and was not present at the time the will was executed.</p>

Judges: Bbown, Frazer, Mosohziskeb, Simpson, Walling
