Syllabus

<p>Executors and Administrators — No Administration Necessary or Proper Upon Estate of Wife Dying Intestate, Without Issue, Owing no Debts and with Husband Surviving.</p> <p>Under the Act of 1892, chap. 571, when a married woman dies without issue, owing no debts and leaving her husband surviving, her personal property devolves upon him without any letters of administration, but the title to the same is suspended until the Orphans’ Court passes an order declaring that it shall pass. In such case, since no letters of administration upon the estate of the deceased wife are necessary, it is erroneous to grant the same, and if granted, they should be revoked.</p>
