Facts

Quinta Beall Couch Hereford, appellee, (W) and Frank Morton Hereford, deceased, were divorced on June 12, 1957. Before their divorce, they entered into an agreement on February 1, 1957. The agreements and the divorce decree are listed in the casebook. Frank died November 8, 1975, and no further monthly payments were made to W. W filed a claim against his estate for continued payments. They were allowed to be continued and Appellant. Executrix, appealed to the Circuit Court. It approved the continued payments as they called for them so long as W lives and both the agreement and the divorce decree had the same effect. Executrix appealed.
