Webster v. Gleizes

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Feb 1, 1929
225 App. Div. 850 (N.Y. App. Div. 1929)

Opinion

February, 1929.

Present — Dowling, P.J., Merrell, Finch, McAvoy and Proskauer, JJ.; Merrell, J., dissents upon the ground that the testator by his will manifested no intention of leaving his entire estate to William Don, but, on the contrary, intended it to be devoted to charitable purposes; that failing to effectually carry out his clear intent, it is as though he died intestate, for the law ignores the illegal and unenforcible trust attempted to be created, and the will by operation of law passes the estate to the heirs and next of kin of the testator.


Judgment and order affirmed, with costs. No opinion.
