It is argued that this definition is decisive of the issue herein and permits a testator not only to disinherit a distributee but to deny a distributee statutory remedies elsewhere provided by the Legislature. Examination of the Report of the Temporary Commission on the Modification, Revision, and Simplification of the Law of Estates discloses that the occasion for defining a negative direction as a will arose from cases in which a testator attempted to disinherit distributees without making an affirmative bequest to others with the result that, since the will contained no effective disposition of property, it was denied probate ( Matter of Hefner, 122 N.Y.S.2d 252; Matter of Bachmann, 45 Misc.2d 297). The commission concluded that a testator should be permitted to have a negative direction admitted to probate and that such direction should be effective irrespective of the omission of any actual disposition of his property to others.
