Re:Estate of John Jakub
No.1293 of 1969
Dear Mr.Hana:
In reply to your note pertaining to the above
estate,we have made inquiry and have discovered that the wife was
notified of the death of John Jakub,either by Mrs.Albert Nobili
or her sister,Anna Matava of Donora,Penna.Mrs.Nobili's mother
corresponded with Anna Jakub in Europe and after she died Mrs.
Nob iIi is continuing correspondence.Paul Macik,the undertaker,
has also advised me that he has received word through the Social
Security office that the wife has applied for widow's benefits from
the Social Security Administration.I called the Social Security
office to verify this,but they were unable to do so.
The executrix advises me that about a'month after
the decedent's death,she received a letter from the decedent's
brother in Czechoslovakia thanking her and her family for taking
care of the decedent and advising her that he received word of his
brother's death from the brother's wife,Anna.
At this time we do not have the widow's address.
,I.

The Honorable P.V.Marino

Judge of the Orphan's Court
Washington ,Pennsylvania 15301
To the Honorable Judge Marino:
Today I am in receipt of a letter from
David Cobb,Esquire,requesting that I assist him in the
Estate of John Jacub.Mr.Cobb claims to represent Mr.
Jacub's widow,who is at the present time,living in
Trebison,Czechoslovakia.
This person claims that she lived with
her husband in Donora,Pennsylvania,in 1937 and 1938 and
that because of her health,she had to move to Europe.
I am in receipt of a copy of a letter sent
to Anna Jakubova.I understand that August 3,1971 has
been set for a deadline for notification as to whether or
not she intends to take against the Will.She does intend
to take against the Will but it will be impossible to have
a Power of Attorney drawn up by August 3,1971.We have
written to her and requested that she appear before the
American Consul at Prague and sign the Power of Attorney,
also an Affidavit saying that she is the Widow of John
Jacub.
Mr.Cobb has also asked me if we have any
special form which has to be signed by the Widow,I do
not believe we have and have so informed.him.

The Honorable P.V.Marino

later than August 3,1971 for a hearing on this case.

OPINION-
January --LJ....1973.,
~~......-...-<;-.....,.~,f_".,
.('~j~rn .---

~\j
u,.),_",--
The widow in this estate is a resident of Czechoslovakia.She hac
been living with the decedent in the United States for some time before 1935.
They came again for the second time in 1937.They lived on Eighth Street in
Donora,Pennsylvania.They lived in Donora for about seven months.Mrs.
Jakub did not like Donora and she went back to Europe in 1937.Her husband,
the decedent,did not wish her to go.She never came back,living in Europe
ever since.Now she files an election to take against the Will of her husband.
She had no complaint about the way she was treated;she never
complained about anything except that she did not like to live in America.She
simply deserted her husband and the desertion was malicious and was not
justified.
The decedent died November 16,1969,and Anna Pazej was
appointed executrix of his estate.
The election to take against the will was not timely as it was not
filed in one year of the appointment of the executrix.The Court extended the
said time because of the residence of the wife in Europe.At the hearing,it
t·'"....
was conclusively proved that she had deserted her husband unjustifiably and
maliciously in 1937 and that the said election should be stricken for said
reasons.
It is so ordered..

PETITION TO STRIKE WIDOW'S ELECTION
AND NOW comes Anna Pazej and moves the Court to strike off
the Widow's Election Against the Will for the following reasons:
1.That John Jakub died on November 16,1969,and Anna
Pazej was appointed,__Executrix",on November 21,1969,by the
Register of Wills of Washington County,Pennsylvania.
2.That some time in July or August,1971,Lloyd Woodward,
Esq';,filed a letter with the Court electing to take against the
Will in the above estate on behalf of Anna Jakubova.
3.That the said Anna Jakubova,who resided in Czechoslo-
vakia,knew of her husband's death within a month after he died
and immediately applied for Social Security benefits with the aid
of relatives living in the Borough of Donora,Washington County,
Pennsylvania.
4.That the election to file against the Will was not
timely as it was not filed within one year of the appointment of
the Executrix."
.~..'.
_··_-or--
.'
5.That the said Anna Jakubova forfeited her right to take
against decedent's Will because she deserted the decedent in 1937,
leaving him in the Borough of Donora,Washington County,Pennsyl-
vania,and moved to Czechoslovakia where she has lived continuousl
ever since.The desertion was malicious and not justified.
