Excerpt from The Law of Probate and Administration for Nebraska: Including Guardianship and Adoption of Children, With Forms The many new questions in regard to wills and settle ments of estates that have been decided by our supreme court during the last thirteen years, as well as changes in statutory law, seem to demand a new edition of Pro bate and Administration. With but one exception these cases merely apply old and well-established rules to new conditions without overruling earlier cases. The courts have made no radical changes in probate law. The legislature has made some sweeping changes providing for dispensing with administration in some cases, abolishing dower and curtesy, and substituting an interest in fee by virtue of the marital relation in place of such estates. The latter act has been pretty thoroughly construed by the supreme court. The first edition has been cited and approved by the courts of other states as well as of Nebraska. The entire work has been revised and rewritten and much new matter added. A few changes in arrange ment will be noticed, particularly in Chapter II, which has been given a more appropriate title, Preparation Of Wills, and forms of clauses most frequently used in drafting wills added.
