more than $3 million in real and personal property Iris Pope nurse for 14 years brought the suit against Lonnie Wooten administrator of the estate and relatives who are eligible to share in the estate Moose did not have a will or at least none has been found Rousseau denied the motion for summary judg ment in the case Such an action is similar to a motion for dismissal The 90 day inventory showed the estate to consist of $1541121 in real property and $898743 in personal property Also Wooten received into the estate $650000 in cash paid on a life insurance policy This brought the total value of the estate to $3089864 Consequently Miss Pope contends under the oral agreement she made with Moose she is entitled to one half of it or $1544932 The motion for summary judgment was based on contentions that Miss evidence even if found to be true does not sup port a jury finding in her favor No date has been set for trial of the suit in Superior Court "Guess how far a truck could carry
