Description
This is an appeal from an order of the District Court of Rolette County, dated October 1, 1951, reversing an order of the
County Court of Rolette County, whereby the county court had dismissed a petition of Margaret Mongeon for the proof and probate
of a purported olographic will of her brother, Michael Leonard, deceased, who left no children, parents, or spouse. All litigants
are brothers, sisters, nephews, or nieces of the deceased. Michael Leonard died on November 5, 1949. On November 10, 1949, Mary J. Burkebile filed in the County Court of Rolette County
a petition for letters of administration asking that Margaret E. Mongeon be appointed administratrix of the estate. These
women were both sisters of the deceased. The county court fixed December 14, 1949, as the date of hearing the petition and
issued a citation accordingly. On November 22, 1949, Margaret E. Mongeon filed a petition for proof and probate of a document
purporting to be the olographic will of Michael Leonard. Hearing on this petition was also set for December 14. On the date
of hearing, written objections to the probate of the purported will were filed by the respondents. A cross petition was filed
in administrative proceedings for the appointment of John Leonard and Domnick Leonard as administrators of the estate. Thus,
on December 14, the court had before it for hearing the petition of Mary J. Burkebile for the appointment of Margaret E. Mongeon
as administratrix and the cross petition, as well as the petition of Mrs. Mongeon for the probate of the olographic will and
the written objections to that probate that were filed through their attorneys by John Leonard, Domnick W. Leonard, Katherine
LeMieux, James Leonard, Alice Leonard, and Leo Leonard. No action was taken on December 14 regarding matters before the court,
other than to enter orders adjourning the hearings to December 17, 1949, when further orders were made adjourning the hearings
on the petition to probate the will and on the petition for letters of administration until January 17, 1950.
