Abstract

The article reports on the order given by John E.H. Stackhouse, judge of State Supreme Court in Manhattan, New York City, to law firm Day Berry & Howard LLP to produce the original of philanthropist Brooke Astor's last will for examination on genuineness of her signature by handwriting experts. The will gives Astor's son authority over her affairs. The order ensued out of the petition filed by Astor's lawyer Susan I. Robbins, over the competency of Astor to sign the papers.
