are Patrone, Ceisler & Edwards. Mr. Patrone?
~ MR. PATRONO: May it please the Court, I have what I believe
II. 0
to be the necessary papers here. There is one question raised.
That is this: at the time that this decedent died, the law provided
family exemption of $1, 000. The daughter, who is also the person
representative, didn't make any claim for family exemption until
the real estate had been sold. By that time the Act had been amen ed
and the amount of the exemption is $1500. I looked at the Act, the
r e
e
~ ;;:: < > ....

amendatory act, and it said that it took effect immediately. I don't'
I
know whether that means it takes effect with respect to estates
where the decedent died after the effective date of the Act or
whether it takes effect with respect to claims for family exemptio
made after the date of the amendatory act. So I am raising the
question in the Audit Petition. This is not a matter of contention.
Actually, it was I who raised the question. I don't think any hearin
is necessary. I think it's strictly a question of law for the Court's
;i ~ consideration. I don't think there would be any contest on the su.bJ ct.
