Holding
The court held that the trial court erred in refusing to consider extrinsic evidence to interpret the testator’s intent regarding his direction that estate taxes be paid from the “residue of my estate,” and that a clear direction against apportionment contained in a will can control the tax burden for assets held in an inter vivos trust.
