Estate of MILDRED FLINT, Deceased. SECURITY PACIFIC NATIONAL BANK, as Trustee, etc., Petitioner, v. BARBARA KULP, Objector and Appellant; MARK DICKENS HARRIS, Claimant and Respondent

Holding

The court held that extrinsic evidence was improperly admitted to interpret a final decree of distribution that was unambiguous on its face, and that the decree's language, "such child or children as are then living," must be construed to include both of the testatrix's children, including the appellant who was expressly disinherited in the will but not excluded by the decree's plain terms.
