1. “Leave to file a late pleading is within the sound discretion of the trial court. The Administrator was aware for two years of a possible dispute over the will, but took no action before attempting final settlement. Indeed, he refused appellees’ request that he seek a judicial interpretation of the will. After the instant proceeding was initiated, both sides proceeded on the assumption that the only question was one of law, and presented oral and written arguments to the court. The Administrator stated in his answer to the appellees’ exception that the will was unambiguous. Given all of this, the court did not abuse its discretion in denying appellant’s motion for leave to file a cross-bill, made as the case was drawing to a close.”
