RULES ESTATE OF LOCAL MAN GOES TO HOME
Vets Home to Secure Property Left by P. McCarty
Under a ruling handed down by the state department at Madison, the estate
of Patrick McCarty, Manitowoc county man, deceased, will go to the
commonwealth as a bequest to the Veterans Home at Waupaca and relatives,
of whom a number reside here, will not share in the estate.
The ruling was handed down at Madison today in an opinion to Atty. L.W.
Ledvine, of the firm of Nash, Nash & Ledvina, representing heirs of
McCarty. The opinion holds that the Wisconsin Veterans' home at Waupaca
is a "person" when an inmate of the home leaves part of his estate to the
"the person I am staying with at the time of my death." the veterans' home,
while receiving state aid, is a charitable and benevolent corporation, the
opinion, written by Franklin E. Bump, assistant attorny general, held.
Estate Value $300
McCarty, a veteran of the civil war, had been cared for at the Veterans
Home at Waupaca for some time previous to his death and when his will
was opened it was found that his property, said to represent a value of
about $300, was bequeathed to the "person" who cares for me at the time
of my death. The question was raised whether the veterans home could
claim the estate under the terms of the will designating "person" as the
beneficiary. The attorney general rules that in such case the home
represents a "person" under the law.
It is understood that no contest on the estate going to the state will be
raised by relatives here.
