File containing probate records, legal correspondence, and testamentary dispositions concerning the estate and final arrangements of the Reverend Dr. Hermann Hohn, a retired Catholic clergyman of ‘House Raphael’, Glenbrook, County Cork. The file traces the administration of his estate by MacCarthy, Hanrahan & Moloney Solicitors of Cork, documenting his key objectives: securing a renewal from the Bishop of Cork to celebrate Mass at his private residence, and devising his entire Irish assets to the Capuchin Franciscan friars at Rochestown on the condition that they oversee his remains and grant him burial in their community cemetery. Individual items include a copy of his Last Will and Testament dated 13 January 1953; a schedule of specific international and local charitable bequests totalling several hundred pounds; a letter from Capuchin Provincial Minister Fr. Colman, Griffin OFM Cap. granting canonical consent for the burial; and final solicitor correspondence enclosing an estate residue settlement cheque of £1,740 5s 3d alongside queries to Fr. Kevin Moynihan OFM Cap. regarding outstanding promissory notes following the sale of the deceased’s house.
