Holding
The court held that the decedent’s will contained a clear and unambiguous direction against the statutory apportionment of death taxes, requiring all such taxes to be paid from the principal of the probate estate, and that the probate court correctly ordered attorney’s fees incurred in defending a codicil contest to be paid from the estate’s residue.
