( ) ( ) ( ) ( ADJUDICATION No.250 of 1968 about to open shortly before he died. appeared to favor her.His only living brother,Wilmer E.Dornon,of Marino,P.J.December 12 ,1969. Cecil A.Dornon,aged 47,lived alone in a one-story home in Hendersonville,Cecil Township,in Washington County.He had been married and divorced;an,only daughter,Deane Dornan,was liVing with her mother who had remarried. Mr.Dornon had not enjoyed good health.In 1958,following his arrest because of a minor incident involving some young boys,he was committed to St.Francis Hospital,Pittsburgh,for a short period of time,but was soon able to return to his regular employment at the Pennsylvania Transformer Plant in Canonsburg.He continued this employment until July 14 1967,when he voluntarily left this work to follow his own employment on a far1 I•he had purchased,and a small independent retail eating-place which he was I IIHehadfourlivingsistersandonebrother.One sister,BlanChel Hartzell,who lives in Kittaning,Pa.,was visited often by the decedent;he i Iif,,( Canonsburg,had been close to the decedent.He had done extensive work for i ! the decedent but had never billed him for same.For about six months prior to I !ecember,1967,decedent visited.his brother almost daily,going to his home 1 I"IiI•I; l I;, !, about ten o'clock in the morning and staying for lunch.Generally he would leave his brother's home after lunch. On December 30,1967,a young neighbor boy telephoned Mr. Wilmer E.Dornon stating that he could get no response at the home of the decedent.Wilmer E.Dornon and his son went immediately to investigate. They forced the door in the home,entered and found the body of decedent, apparently dead,lying on the floor.The coroner came and pronounced Cecil A.Dornon dead at 3 P.M.,December 30,1967.There is no testimony as to the length of time he might have been dead.Death was due to a self-inflicted gunshot wound.In the room nearby were found two checks of the Mellon National Bank &Trust Company,Peters Township Office.One was dated December 27,1967,and drawn to the order of Wilmer E.Dornon,and signed by Cecil A.Dornon.(We will have occasion to further discuss this check late in this opinion.)The other check was blank (unwritten),but on the reverse side (the unprinted side)there appeared the legend,purportedly in the hand- writing of the decedent:rrpm sorry to do this but I have not been feeling well and want to die.Cecil A.Dornon.II No will was found.Application for letters of administration was made by attorney Chris Vlachos and letters were issued on February 6, 1968.Wilmer E.Dornon who possessed a key to decedent's home,conducted a systematic search of the home in February and finally came upon the alleged will of decedent,hidden in one of the books in his den,after leafing through possibly fifty or more books.This was about the middle of February.He made application for probate of this writing as the last will and testament of th decedent.Decedent's daughter,Deane Dornon,lodged her caveat with the Register and all consideration of probate was terminated. The alleged will is in the follOWing form:On a large size white business envelope (41l x 9-1/411 )of the Mellon National Bank and Trust Company -2- (with its name and address printed in the usual form in the upper left-hand corner)this being the "window typell envelope with a window about 1-1/8"x 3-3/4"also on the left side of the envelope,there appears partly above and to the right of the window,the hand-written name and address of decedent,to-wi, "Cecil A.Dornon Box 351 Houston Pa. 15342" Directly above this writing,about 3/8 inch from the top of the envelope,appea s the body of the Will,as fo llows (all typewritten): "December 27,1967 After my death I leave everything to my sister Blanche D. Hartzell" On the reverse side of the bank envelope appears the follOWing,obviously in longhand but unidentified as to the scrivener in the testimony: "Waynesburg Natl Bank Checks",each word being underlined. Directly above the word llNatl"appears the figures"511.51",the last two digits being partially ob literated. The caveat filed on behalf of Deane Dornon bears no date; however in the required Bond filed on her behalf it is recited that the caveat was filed on March 29,1968 (the Bond itself being executed and filed April 1, 1968). The caveator,whom we denominated "contestant"at the hearing held in this matter,and whom we shall herein similarly designate,has advanced many reasons and theories to void this writing as a will.She has not set forth her rationale in an orderly summary or in a petition or similar pleading filed with the court.Contestant adverts to various phases of her contentions as the testimony unfo Ids.Great latitude was permitted by the cour for the sake of receiving any possible pertinent testimony in a rather bizarre proceeding.The sole beneficiary,Blanche D.Hartzell,would of course be the proponent.She did not appear at the hearing but her brother,Wilmer E. Dornon,testified extensively. -3- It probably would have been less cumbersome and much more orderly to have required the caveator to file a petition setting forth in detail th acts on which she relied with the s?-me particularity as in a petition of appeal rom probate.See McGrozan Will,11 Fid.R.361.However,this was not demanded,as considerable delay had been experienced in resolving other acets of the case,and both parties were anxious to proceed when the matter was finally set down for hearing. Among the contentions of this contestant are:(a)That deceden lacked testamentary capacity at the time of executing this writing,and was not of sound mind,memory and understanding. (b)That undue influence was exerted on this decedent,which undue influence produced the writing here at issue. (c)That the signature of the decedent to this instrument is not the proper signature of Cecil A.Dornon,but is a forgery;or if the signature is genuine,that the writing was superimposed over the signature. (d)That decedent was suffering a delusion which amounted to monomania,or an insane delusion,in this instance that his daughter was actually illegitimately born. Let us consider these contentions in the light of the testimony adduced.Testamentary capacity is possessed by a testator if he has a sound mind,memory and understanding at the time of execution of the instrument and appreciates the extent of his disposable estate and knowledge as to his heirs r next of kin.Testamentary capacity is presumed and the burden of proving lack of testamentary capacity is upon those who assert it:Lauer Will,351 Pa. 438 (1945);Sturgeon Will,357 Pa.75 (1947);Kerr v.O'Donovan,389 Pa. 614 (1957). Circumstantial evidence may be considered along with direct evidence in establishing lack of testamentary capacity as well as undue inflUencr: urst Will,406 Pa.612 (1962).When there is a paucity of substantial evidenc , -4- and contestant's argument is based only on conjecture.and suspicion,certainly no substantial dispute exists and a jury trial will be refused.Hicks Est.(No.), 51 Berks 86 (1958).Contestant attempted to show that decedent had been treated about nine years earlier at the Falk Clinic,Presbyterian University Hospital.But it is undisputed that he returned to his usual employment at the Pennsylvania Transformer Company and worked steadily until July 14,1967, when he voluntarily left that work to spend more time outdoors on a farm whic he had purchased. There is not the slightest indication of lack of testamentary capacity in this middle-aged man during that summer,fall and winter up to th time he died by his own hand.The testimony is unclear as to the exact date of his death.The wi11 is dated (if it be correct)the 27th day of December,1967. But the testimony in respect of the date of death comes from the lips of only one witness,Helen Bobble,who resided next door to the decedent.She could remember only that two days before the body was discovered,decedent's car remained in its usual place near the home.It attracted her attention and that of her husband because there had fallen a rather heavy snow and it was obvious that no move had been made to clear the snow,the car remaining in its origin position.Mrs.Bobble and her husband wondered whether the decedent might be sick;but they did not investigate. As stated,a young boy from the reighborhood,telephoned Wilm r E.Dornon who went with the po lice and the coroner,and found the lifeless body of decedent on the floor of his home.This occurred on December 30, 1967.Although the Coroner's Report recites that decedent had been at his brother's home on December 26th and 27th,and did not return to his own home· until about 11:30 P.M.,December 28th,it is immediately obvious that such narrative is based purely on hearsay,as the only person haVing any knowLedge of the situation was Helen Bobble,who explained forthrightly in this proceedin that she actually did not see the decedent during this period at all. -5- But whether he died December 28th,29th or 30th would be immaterial,since the will is dated December 27th and must be presumed to have been written and executed on said date)there being no proof to the contrary.There is no sufficient evidence of decedent's lack of testamentary capacity on December 27)1967)or immediately prior thereto)and that charge fails.The matter of insane delusion will be separately considered, although if shown to exist would actually constitute a circumstance denying the existence of testamentary capacity. We turn now to the charge of undue influence.It is suggested that decedent was very close to his only liVing brother,Wilmer E.Dornon, who lived in Canonsburg.It is conceded that decedent visited him almost daily in the last six months of his life.He did considerable work for decedent and had never been paid for the simple reason that he had never asked for pay- ment.But Wilmer E.Dornon is not a legatee or devisee;he is not named in the will as executor.How,then,could he have exerted an improper influence on decedent in the matter of making his wi 11?The answer is quite invo lved. Wilmer E.Dornon,according to the testimony of contestant's witness Helen Bobble,had two fixed ideas or beliefs in his mind.He imparte the information himself unto Helen Bobble.He stated to her that Deane Dorno should not share in decedent's estate because she had a tftrust fund"establishel. I by the decedent for her use.And further that she should not share in the estatl because she was an illegitimate child.There was no corroboration offered of either statement.Mr.Dornon denied both.However,it is contended that Helem Bobble is worthy of belief as she would have nothing to gain by falsifying her testimony while Mr.Dornon might profit handsomely if he could get his brothe. to believe that Deane was an illegitimate.Accepting this testimony,arguendo, as entirely truthful)there is not a word of evidence in this record to indicate that the decedent was ever informed by anyone that his daughter was illegitimate. -6- In fact Helen Bobble admitted that decedent never said anything to her from which such could be inferred. So we have at best,in the category of undue influence,conjectu e and suspicion that certain things could have occurred.That is not enough. Next we consider the matter of forgery.Forgery may be prove by showing that the decedent's name,as it appears on the will,is spurious. Sometimes there is direct evidence available of one who observed the forger accomplishing his misdeed;but most often the forgery is proved by a compari on of the signature appearing on the will with other admittedly genuine signatures of the decedent,pointing out the various essential differences in the two.Thi is hardly a task for the layman,and opinion evidence of properly qualified IIhandwriting experts"is admissible in evidence.Forgery of a will may be demonstrated even where the signature of decedent is admittedly genuine.Thi situation occurs when one surreptitiously appropriates a blank piece of paper with nothing written thereon except the decedent's genuine signature.The forger then proceeds to superimpose the writing which he desires over (above) the genuine signature of the decedent.This type of invalid will is usually offered for probate after letters of administration on decedent's estate have been issued,with the explanation that the will was recently IIfoundlf •As a rul , no subscribing witnesses are carried on the paper,and frequently the body of the will is typewritten.The forger of course has the advantage of waiting for another will (if there be one)to be produced;if none is forthcoming he is secure in the knOWledge that he will have no competition in that quarter. It would appear that contestant is relying on proof of that type forgery,since she makes no effort to challenge decedent's signature on the will.She called for no comparison between that on the will and the decedent's signature on a check1 for $3000 payable to Wilmer E.Dornon and dated the very day of the will.The body (including the date)of this will was typewritten, 1 We render no decision on the validity of said check in this proceeding. -7 - the date on the top line,and the entire will on the next line.The top line is 3/8"from the top of this large envelope,while decedent's signature,followed by his address including box number and zip code as well,take up the remaind r of the large envelope.The fact that the will was written in such a manner is certainly a most unusual circumstance.But contestant has introduced no testimony to show that the typewritten will was actually superimposed above th decedent's signature.No attack is made on the writing itself.Decedent owne and possessed in his home,a typewriter;the machine was not described,and we do not know whether it was a small,portable machine or the heavier,larger business office type.We are not advised whether decedent was an experienced typist or simply an amateur. We are not informed of the characteristics of expert typing as compared with that of an amateur,such as the alignment of the letters,the spacing,the margins,the light or heavy touch,and other easily discernable features.The court has nothing before it other than the unusual circumstance of how this will was drawn,and the further fact of its discovery in a peculiar manner without witnesses to the finding.One's suspicion is properly aroused. But we repeat,suspicion and conjecture are not enough to warrant an issue d.v.n. Lastly,we come to the issue of insane delusion,always a troublesome one.It is often impractical to attack a will on the charge of testamentary incapacity,especially where decedent has been known to engage in business,or fo llow some specific employment which requires his alert mental faculties.In such situations,one searches for eccentric,bizarre or uncommon characteristics possessed by the individual and sometimes label them as insane delusions. In Duross Will,395 Pa.492 (l959)our Supreme Court said: flThe law is well settled that a person may be of sound mind in regard to his -8- general affairs and have testamentary capacity,yet at the same time may be under an insane delusion.It is difficult to formulate a definition of an insane delusion which will cover every possible case,but the general rule is clear that it must be,as its name implies,an insane delusion,and that it must hav caused decedent to make his will in a manner entirely different from what he would have if the insane delusion did not exist.II Thus an insane delusion is defined as lIa mere figment of the imagination,a belief in the existence of something which does not exist,and which no rational person would believe did exist.II Sommerville Will,406 Pa. I 207 (1962);Johnson Will,370 Pa.125 (1952);Weiss Will,366 Pa.456 (l950D. The insane delusion harbored by this decedent,the contestant urges,was the belief that his daughter was illegitimately born.And it cause1~ him to disinherit her although he allegedly showed great affection for her at all times before his death.Of course if it were demonstrated that this delusi<Un (admittedly not based on fact)controlled the decedent in drawing his Will,and caused him to make a will which he otherwise \MJuld not make,it most surely would invalidate the will because of such insane delusion,a pure figment of the imagination.But where is the evidence to demonstrate this? Decedent had not seen his daughter since she went to California after the divorce,at least seven or eight years before.It is true that he saw her with some degree of regularity about once a week before she moved away and that he exhibited great affection for her.There is no testimony whatever[ nor attendant circumstances,which would indicate the belief by this decedent that he believed his daughter to be illegitimate;nor is there any testimony that he at any time ever imparted such information to any other person. Contestant advances the proposition that decedent must have learned of the illegitimacy of his daughter because there could be no other sound reason for the will.He loved his daughter and always got along well -9- with her;why then should he disinherit her?It has always been the law of Pennsylvania that a parent does not have to leave any of his property to his children,whether he likes them or dislikes them,or even hates them;and he does not have to disclose his reasons for disinheriting any or all children. In certain cases it may seem to be a very harsh rule,but we are bound by the legislative enactment in these matters,and by centuries of decisional law, While it is conceded that we can point to no improper action on contestant's part that would justify disinheriting her,by the same token 'V.'B can point to no delusion (insane or otherwise)cherished by this decedent which would in any manner affect his will.Again,we have but suspicion, conjecture,opportunity for improper and possibly illegal activity.But these cannot be equated with testimony and proof of the facts required. The reasons advanced are not sufficient to require an issue devisavit vel non,and the same is refused.The contestant's caveat is dismissed and the record returned to the Register for the purpose of probate of the will here involved.

The property consists of appronimntely one-half acre of land which has two roads across the front and one along the side with the creek at the rear.It is an attractive location with large willow trees and other shrubs.There is some parking in the front which may be a part of the rOlld right-of-ways.At the present time there is well water'and what appears to be two septic tanks with e~ther no leach beds or insufficient leach beds.There is strong evidence of sewerage along one aide and also at the rear into the creek.The area is in a flood area.. The main building consists of a very old one story brick dwelling and a one story block building which is connected.There are 864 s.f.in the brick section and 50~n the one story section. There is a metal roof on the brick section and a very poor foundation with evidence of severe problems in the back where the old door jam has collapsed and the wall-is buckeling badly.There is a small area of crawl space here which is the only basement.There is evidence of termites.The main building contains living room,.kitchen,three very small bedrooms and bath.The.interior is partially panelled and the kitchen is fairly good with a d.b.pore.sink and wood wall and base cabinets.:m}"iere is ii.laundry off the kitchen which is in the one story additioriQ Small electric hot water heater,the connection for the sUbmer~ble pump for the well and some insulation. The remainder of the.one \?:tory section contains a two room area which was in the proc~ss l5'f being used commercially.The roof is in very bad condition and therefore the interior is full of mildew and all the ceilings and floors have been ruined.There is no heat EXtnBI'l "Elf ...-\Paqe -2-·Dornan Estate .' in the one story section and only ~909 space heater in the brick section. At the rear of the property is an 8 x 44 older mobile home which appears to be in fair condition.There is also evidence of septic tank problems with this pr0&erty also~ In arriving at the value of tho property,consideration was taken of the fact that there is no commercial financing available for the property.At the present time th4t property is in such a poor condition that no lending insti tutior-,woul d 'I~E't Ilf"rna J estate to secure financing. In my opinion,the property would not be approved for any type of on-site sewerage if it werQ required by the Township or County. Having made a study of the prCGent market which is quite slow due to high interest rates and lack of dem&nd for properties which are away from the employment areas,my esticate of value is as follows.If the estate werG to carry a mortgage for a period of five to ten years,the property could be sold for around $16,000. However if a cash buyer is requi~ed I feel that a price of around $14,000 would be more realistic in today's market. ~.~1,lV(•~\"i",i·r",rty and have made a thorough investigation an~~1.lliS~S of all matters affecting the value.I have an interest in the property at this time as my office has submitted an offer for the property. Market Value is defined as,"The price a willing,well informed buyer acti~l without duress or necessity,\vill pay a willing,well infol/Mod seller acting without duress or necessity."
