• 87 Ill. 260

Syllabus

<p>1. Appeal—-from, allowance of claims against an estate, by other than administrator. The statute giving any person aggrieved the right to appeal from the allowance of a claim against an estate, an appeal, when taken by any other person than the administrator, need not be prosecuted in the name of the latter. In such case, the county court is authorized to fix the penalty of the appeal bond, and twenty days are allowed in which to appeal.</p> <p>2. Married woman—liability of her separate property for professional services in procuring her divorce. In the absence of proof to show that a married woman ever undertook to charge her separate estate, or ever contracted to pay for professional services rendered for her in a suit for divorce, and where the evidence shows that the attorneys looked to and relied upon her husband and his property for payment of their fees, and procured orders against the husband for the same from time to time, her separate estate, after her death, can not be held liable on a claim filed by such attorneys.</p>
