Saulnier's Estate

3 Whart. 442, 1838 Pa. LEXIS 203
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania·Decided April 9, 1838·Published

Opinion

Pur Curiam.

A husband has no peculiar right to administration of his wife’s separate estate; and the interference of the husband here is to be disregarded. Even had he been entitled, his negligence in the assertion of his right would be a waiver of it; and he could not now prevent it from devolving on another. A wife’s creditors are not bound to wait forever. There is no personal objection to the appellee; and we cannot say the Orphans’ Court erred in refusing to repeal the letters of administration.

Decree affirmed.
