In re: Estate of J. Crawford Murphy vs. Robert A. Murphy, et al.

Case Number
E2001-01112-COA-R3-CV
In this case the Probate Court held that the personal representative of the Estate of Mae Thompson Murphy did not have authority to dissent from the will of her husband, J. Crawford Murphy, and thereby take an elective share of his estate. We find that T.C.A. 31-4-105 gives the personal representative this right and reverse the judgment of the trial court.
