In the Matter of the Estate of MARY A. HAMON, Deceased

Holding

The court held that the trustee, Ada Miriam Parker, was grossly and willfully negligent in her administration of the trust for failing to exercise ordinary care and diligence in making a loan secured by commercially valueless desert land. Furthermore, the court held that the beneficiary, Percival James Langdon, held an absolute and indefeasible interest in the trust property upon reaching the age of thirty, as specified by the testator’s will.
