Theodory vs Theodory
The deceased was professing Christianity, as evidenced by Form No. I and undisputed facts regarding his marriage; the trial and appellate courts erred by relying on place of abode and number of wives as proof of customary life. The primary court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the probate and administration cause of the deceased.
