Holding
The court held that the direction in Nellie M. Bilhorn’s holographic will to sell her California ranch and "give to each of my brothers ... the price of 40 acres" did not effect an equitable conversion of the real property into personalty, meaning the devise to the plaintiff constituted a direct bequest of real property rather than a monetary gift contingent upon sale.
