NO.63-69-617
FAMILY EXEMPTION MEMO
Family Exemption claimed by Ralph E.Knestrick,a son,with whom the de-
cedent lived from and after the death of his wife,Tillie A.Knestrick,who died
October 7,1947.The deceased lived with the son and his family until his failing
health require~him to stay at the Sylvia Barr Nursing Home.In Skonieczki Estate,
(26 D.&C.2d,743)(1962)is a case with facts similar to the Knestrick case and,
on page 746,the Court said,"It is the opinion of this court,'and we so hold that
decedent's stay at the nursing home did not break his family relationship that had
existed for many years prior to his entry into the nursing home,and that his stay
there was only temporary even though it lasted approximately 18 months and until his
death (See 3 Hunter -Family Exemption,6(c»,and Bernadine Zy1a and decedent were
"members of the same household,"and that,therefore,Bernadine Zy1a is entitled to
the family exemption."
It is submitted that the family relation was not destroyed because of Mr.
Knestrick's stay at the nursing home and that,therefore,Ralph E.Knestrick,son,
who had resided with his father from the date of the son's birth,is entitled to the
Family Exemption.
