Hugo and Charles were brothers who did business as partners for several years. When Hugo died, Charles was appointed administrator of his estate. Tax returns disclosed that the partnership business continued to operate just as it had before Hugo’s death and that Hugo’s estate received the profits and was charged with the losses of the business.
