of the county for two weeks. Af
ter this time, if there is objection
to the appointee, the probate
judge must determine if the ob
jection is valid. If there is no ob
jection, the appointee files bond
with the probate judge and pro
ceeds with the administration the
first step of which is to give no
tice in a county newspaper for
three weeks to all* creditors to
submit their claims and to all
debtors of the deceased to pay
their indebtedness to the estate.
In the event claims are in dispute,
the probate judge must determine
the validity of such claims.
Judge Stone then appoints three
disinterested persons to appraise
the property of the deceased. In
this connection, he said ti\^t many
people felt'that appraisal was in
the nature of a tax assessment and
tend to want the value to be low.
“This is a mistake,” he continued,
“because state inheritance tax is
low and there is no federal estate
tax on estates jbelow $60,000. tfow-
ever, he said, if the inherited
property is later sold, the tax
commission checks the appraisal
value and the seller must pay
state and federal income tax on
the difference between the ap
praisal value and the selling price.
This is true even though the pro
perty may not he sold for fifty
years or more.
The administrator is given 30
days to have the appraisal com
pleted, then it is sent to the in
heritance tax commission, which
may require a re-appraisal if it
seems the true value is not re
flected.
After this initial action, there
is a waiting period until near the
end of the administrative year. If
there is any cash in the estate
during this time, it is invested in
a safe institution. Near the end of
the year, notice is again given to
creditors and debtors that the es
tate is to be settled. The adminis
trator files a petition to be dis
charged from his duties. After
seeing that he has made an an
nual report, accounting for all
monies taken in and spent, the
probate judge issues a discharge.
The property that is, left is dis
tributed to those entitled to it
and the estate is closed. Some
estates are not settled for years,
but no estate may be settled in
less than a year’s time.
Judge' Stone said that while he
has been in office, wills have been
administered ranging in length
from five lines to 12 pagee, and in
value from $500 to $500,000.
Talking on the subject of wills,
Judge Stone recommended that
every person with any amount of
property should make a will. “The
main reason,” he said, “is that
your property will go where you
want it to go. Also,, if you name
an executor in a will, this will
save money because it will not he
necessary to advertise the ap
pointment of an administrator.
The administration may begin im
mediately, and it is not necessary
for an executor named in a will
to post bond.
‘‘It doesn’t necessarily have to
be a formal will, drawn by a law
yer,” continued 'the judge. ^ “Any
person making a will, of course,
must be of sound mind and not
under any undue influence or
compulsion, but the only technical
requirement is that there MUST
be three witnesses, that each wit
ness and the maker of the will
must see each other sign the will.
It is necessary for all four to be
present when each one signs.” A
minor, (under 21 years of age)
cannot make a ’ valid will.
No wills l^ave been “broken”
since Judge Stone has been in of
fice, but some could not he con
sidered valid, principally because
there were not sufficient wit-
neses.
The probate judge must make
an inventory of contents of safe
ty deposit boxes held by the de
ceased and report this to the In
heritance Tax Commission. He
also reports to the auditor and
the clerk of court ai}y real estate
held by the deceased at the time

of his death. In connection
committing persons to the State
Hospital, there are three ways of
doing this, says Judge Stone.
First, there is voluntary commit
tal, where a person goes of his
own consent. The probate judge
has no connection with cases of
this nature. The second commit
tal is on .medical certification^ On
request of members 1 of a person’s
family or others, .the probate
judge appoints two doctors to ex
amine the person. If both agree
that he is mentally ill, the probate
judge draws up the necessary pa
pers for commitment and immed
iately arranges transportation to
the state hospital. The person may
be taken by friends or relatives;
the hospital will send for them,
but charges an ambulance ser
vice fee; and in some cases, mem
bers of the sheriff's office takes
the person to he committed to
Columbia.
The third type of commitment
is known as “judicial commit
ment.” This comes about when
a person is committed on medical
certification, but the question lat-11
er arises as to whether the com-
performance of his duties; the
amount of bond being twice the
worth of the personal property of
the deceased if a personal, bond,
one and a half times if a surety
bond.
“When a person dies,” said Mr.
Stone, “the first thing to determ
ine is whether he left a will.” If
the survivors do not know of the
existence of a will, the probate
judge searches among the wills
placed on file in his office by at
torneys for safe keeping. If he
does not find one there, he con
tacts the attorney of the deceased
tljen checks the safety deposit
bdxes in banks, if any were held.
Failing to find a will, he appoints
an administrator. If any person
has knowledge er possession of a
will of a deceased, he is required
to produce it in 30 days. If no
will turns up in a year’s time, the
estate is settled and If one later
is found, it is no longer valid.
Before the administrator is ap
pointed, a notice of the appoint
ment is published in a newspapei
mitment was proper. In thip case
the person is returned from the
State hospital and a hearing is
held before the probate judge who
must then decide whether the per
son should be released or return
ed to the hospital.
Some of Judge stone s miscel
laneous duties include: working
with. the Department of Public
Welfare in making arrangements
to care for homeless or neglected
children, to place them in homes
where they will be cared for or
in orphanages; working with the
Veterans Administration in con
nection with affairs of incompe
tent veterans’ or minors of veter
ans; looking up old records, some
going back as far as 1776; issu
ing checks each year to widows
of Confederate War veterans;
keeping records of marriages; fil
ing all papers connected with
administration of estates; serve
as guardian for minors and for
persons not mentally capable of
handling their own affairs; in co
operation with city and county au
thorities, commit boys and girls
to reform schools for petty crimes.
Helping Judge Stone with all
these tasks during his nine years
in office has ibeen Mrs. Mary
Frances Kunkle. Mrs. Kunkle and
Judge Stone both welcome citiz
ens of the county to stop by the
office of the Probate Judge at any
time they have questions which
might be answered by that office,
or just for a visit.
