Notes of Decisions

Where appointment of petitioner as personal representative of decedent’s estate was challenged on ground that decedent was still married at time he married petitioner, validity of parties’ marriage was upheld where record did not show that first marriage was validly contracted. Davis v. Davis, 55 Or App 982, 640 P2d 692 (1982)
