Holding
The court held that the testator's use of the term "residue" in successive clauses of her will was intended to encompass her entire estate, including the future interest in a homestead and personal property subject to a life occupancy right, thereby avoiding partial intestacy and ensuring all property would be administered under the trust's termination provisions.
