The interest devised to testator's heirs at law under this interpretation would be a contingent interest as to the event, the event being the life tenant dying childless. Owens v. Davis, 224 Ga. 146 ( 160 S.E.2d 352) (1968). Such estates are permissible under Georgia law, Code Ann. §§ 85-702, 113-816.
The contingency, namely dying without issue, is an event. Owens v. Davis, 224 Ga. 146 ( 160 S.E.2d 352). Therefore all the children including the life tenant, Daisy F. Johnston, had remainder estates which were transmissible. Code § 85-704; Morse v. Proper, 82 Ga. 13 ( 8 S.E. 625); Crawford v. Clark, 110 Ga. 729, 738 ( 36 S.E. 404); Wiley v. Wooten, 140 Ga. 16 ( 78 S.E. 335).
