Fain v. Courtney Leann Fain Mayor

Court of Civil Appeals of Alabama.
Sep 4, 2015
217 So. 3d 850 (Ala. Civ. App. 2015)

Summary

In Daniel v. Fain, 73 Tenn. 319, the object of the trust was: "to assist some indigent young man in a preparatory course for the sacred ministry," and it was said in Ewell v. Sneed, that this was sufficiently definite for the trust to have been sustained had there been trustees to support it. Indeed in Ewell v. Sneed, the object of the charity involved was: "and the said money to be used in educating young ministers of the Presbyterian Church," and the court seems to have regarded this as being a sufficiently definite object.
