Godwin v. Bank of Aurora

165 S.E. 927, 203 N.C. 845, 1932 N.C. LEXIS 106

Supreme Court of North Carolina·Decided October 5, 1932·Published

Opinion

Per Curiam.

Mary Gaskins was the personal representative of her deceased husband, W. H. Gaskins, but died before completing the administration of his estate. W. A. Thompson was appointed administrator, d. b. n. of W. H. Gaskins’ estate, and was paid the deposit in question. The case turns on whether the money on deposit with the defendant bank at the time of Mary Gaskins’ death belonged to her individually or was held by her as the personal representative of her husband’s estate. The evidence is equivocal, and requires the intervention of a jury to determine the issue.
