Estate of EDWARD H. JENANYAN, Deceased. SAMUEL L. HOLMES, as Administrator With the Will Annexed, etc., Petitioner and Respondent, v. SHARON WICK, Claimant and Appellant; ANN JENANYAN et al., Claimants and Respondents

Holding

The court held that a probate court order directing the abatement of a specific devise of real property was void for lack of adequate notice to the devisee, and that, on the merits, the trial court erred in ordering the devise to abate proportionally with general monetary bequests absent a clear expression of contrary intent in the will.
