Holding
The court held that a claim for nursing services rendered by a married woman, which constituted community property, was properly presented to an estate’s executors even though it was verified and filed in her name rather than her husband’s, and further held that her pursuit of the claim constituted a valid election to reject a testamentary bequest intended as compensation for the same services.
