[Gjest Yngve Nedrebø]

Thank you, Yngve. What does it mean when it states simply 'married' as opposed to 'married, present'? Does it mean present at the probate hearing? That would make sense...Hilsen Patti Mikkelsen

[Gjest Yngve Nedrebø]

Those who were 'married' was present, and most likely lived near by, while the one not present were unable to defend her interests, and therefore someone had to take care of her affairs.
