Legal Research Home > Pennsylvania Statutes

     § 776.  Testimony in proceedings removed from register.
        On appeal from the register, or in a proceeding removed from
     the register, the orphans' court division may find, upon the
     testimony taken before the register, that a substantial dispute
     of fact exists and grant a jury trial. When upon the testimony
     taken before the register a jury trial is not granted, the
     division shall hear the testimony de novo unless all parties
     appearing in the proceeding agree that the case be heard on the
     testimony taken before the register. In any event, the division
     may require witnesses already examined and other witnesses to
     appear before it. The division, in its discretion, may impanel a
     jury at any stage of the proceedings.
