Description
This proceeding was brought by Edward Reardon, as administrator of the estate of George V. Reardon, to obtain the transfer to the administrator of certain personal property, including the proceeds of a bank account, now held by the appellant, Frances Joffe. The bank account had been opened in the joint names of the decedent and Frances Joffe. At the trial the Surrogate charged the jury that ""the burden of proof is upon the respondent [appellant here] to show that this opening of the account by George V. Reardon was a voluntary act on his part; that he wanted and intended for it to be a joint account with the consequence that it would go to his sister, Mrs. Joffe, if she survived him."" The jury found that the estate of the deceased was entitled to the money in question.
