In the Matter of the Estate of S. C. G. BARCLAY, Deceased

Holding

The court held that the testator’s direction for her son to be repaid sums he had expended on her behalf constituted a valid legacy payable from the estate before distribution of the residue, and that a codicil creating a trust for a daughter’s benefit did not operate to divest her of her absolute interest under the will, which passed to her heirs upon her death.
