This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 7th day of February, 1936, in accordance with request made by a relative - Mr. [776], Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno.]

Time of Reading (Taken 5:40 to 5:45 P. M.) Set bet. 3:30 to 4:30 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, N.Y. (Body and enquiring mind, who seeks helpful information, advice and guidance as to the manner to proceed in order to obtain justice in regard to her uncle’s estate - as per details given on attached sheet, in my hand. You will answer the questions she has submitted, as I ask them.)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [1116], and those disturbing conditions to the body in respect the settling of the uncle’s estate.

2. As we find, when all conditions are considered - that is, considering that there is a variation in the laws of the various portions of the country in relationships to the equity of individuals’ relationships in the settling of such estate, it would be well to employ one from the OWN viewpoint - or of the OWN - that would look INTO the settling of same AS it comes up for disposition in the near future. This we would do, even though the present general conditions or GENERAL applications may be considered very worth while, dependable and trustworthy - from the standpoint of those who are to handle the estate.

3. Choose one, then, of thine own; that is well known, is deemed trustworthy, and who is acquainted well with the laws that concern such natures of the disposition of estates - see?

4. Ready for questions.

5. (Q) Can you give me what the outcome of the case will be, and when same will be settled? (A) This cannot be depended upon, owing to the fact that it is rather a matter of opinions; and of opinions that must be changed, altered, according to the circumstances and the DEMANDS that are made for the kindred that have a share in the disposition of such an estate.

Thus, as indicated, for the PROPER consideration, it would be WELL that the body employ one to represent SELF - or self’s own interests as concerning others, in the Florida portion especially.

And this would be found to be not only worth while, but would expedite matters and make for a settlement in such a manner as to be in keeping with that which - as we find - would be just and right under the whole conditions.

Do that.

6. We are through for the present.

Background

B1. 1/27/36 Mr. [776]‘s letter telling us of his wife Mrs. [755]‘s death:

“I am also enclosing a check for 10 and a history of a case and questions. It explains itself. Mrs. [1116] is a relative of the family on the wife's side. I have encouraged her to invest 10 for your advice in the matter and personally ask that you give it your very best attention and reading as soon as possible, as it might be necessary for them to go to court and answer a claim against this estate within a certain time.”

History of Case. [By Mrs. [1116], via Mr. [776]]

Mr. […] was married to my father’s sister, thus being my uncle by marriage. My aunt passed away on Aug. 15, 1932 and he made a new will in September 1932, dividing the estate into shares, of which I was to receive six shares - there being 28 shares in all.

In October 1933 my uncle married a Mrs. […] from …, Pa. He did not make any changes in his will after he was married, for the reason that when they came up north from Orlando, Florida, Mrs. […] would not live in Jersey where he had his summer home and claimed his residence. He had lived in Jersey many years before he went to Florida and bought quite some property. When they were in Florida he stayed in her home, although he had an orange grove outside the city with a nice home on it.

On September 5, 1935 Mr. […] passed away in his home in Jersey, (Mrs. […] was in Pennsylvania and had been since coming up north) and one of the neighbors sent for her.

There were two executors of the estate - The Second National Bank of Red Bank and Mr. […], Jr. (a son of the first Mrs. […]‘s cousin). The will was filed for probate in Freehold, N.J. Nearly all the property that Mr. […] purchased was in Florida, there being only one parcel in Jersey.

Due to the fact that Mr. […] made no provision in his will for Mrs. […], she has filed a petition with the County Judge of Orange County, Victor Hutchins, Orlando, Fla. claiming that under Section 11 of the Florida Probate Act of 1933, she is entitled to all of the property located in Florida. Mr. […] has retained Mr. Richard Otto of Newark N.J. to represent the Estate.

1 - Will you kindly advise what course should be followed in regard to securing a lawyer, or do you think the lawyer retained by the executor will be able to handle the case to the best interests of the heirs.

2 - Will you kindly give me your reading on the outcome of the case, and when same will be settled.

I am very much interested in the outcome of the case, for the reason that I am helping in the expense of doctoring my father’s other sister who has been an invalid for the past two years. She lives with her daughter in Rockville Centre. As I lived with this Aunt, (who brought me up from childhood), 22 years and love her very much, I feel that I should help in the expense. I am also contributing to the support of my mother, who lives alone in Long Beach. She is able to do some work herself and is able to get along with what she makes and what I can send her. I am working at … and make a fair monthly salary. In addition to the above expenses I am paying $25.00 per month on the second mortgage on our home. My husband’s mother lives with us.

This Mrs. […] is a wealthy woman in her own rights. I did not meet the woman until the day my uncle was buried. He always came to visit us and he always came alone - Mrs. […] being in Penn. I received two friendly letters from her inviting me to visit her, which I could not accept. Therefore, under the circumstances, I thought the will would be settled in the regular way - that she would be willing to accept the amount of the estate allowed her by law.

Mrs. [1116]
