Court | Maryland Court of Appeals |
Appeal from Orphans' Court, Carroll County; Webster Ebaugh, John H. Brown, and Lewis E. Green, Judges.
Proceeding by Norman M. Anderson, surviving husband of Rebecca Unduch Peusch Anderson, deceased, against Hilda Unduch Peusch Carter and Naomi Unduch Bannan, administratrices of Rebecca Unduch Peusch Anderson, in the administration of the deceased's estate. From an order of the orphans' court overruling plaintiff's exceptions to the defendants' account and proposed distribution of the estate, plaintiff appeals.
Order affirmed.
Argued before BOND, C. J., and URNER, OFFUTT, PARKE, SLOAN, MITCHELL, SHEHAN, and JOHNSON, JJ.
Theodore F. Brown and A. Earl Shipley, both of Westminster, for appellant.
Jas. E. Boylan, Jr., of Westminster, for appellees.
The appellees, as administratrices of the estate of their deceased mother, in their account and proposed distribution charged the share of the decedent's surviving husband with funeral expenses and other claims for which he was considered to be primarily liable but which the appellees had paid. This appeal is from an order of the Orphans' Court overruling exceptions by the surviving husband to those charges. The principal item to which he made objection was an allowance of $300 for funeral expenses.
By section SA of Article 93 of the Code (1935 Supplement), it is provided:
The ground of the exception to the funeral expense item in the administration account is that the payment was not made originally out of the decedent's estate. But the advancement of money by the appellees personally to pay those expenses entitled them to reimbursement from the estate (Lentz v. Pilert, 60 Md. 296, 299, 45 Am. Rep. 732; Watson v. Cook, 170 Md....
