Reeves v. Reeves

Opinion of the Court

The Ordinary.

If there could be a division of the fee among these three sons, each might receive, in fee, the share allotted to him. But the will provides that if either son die without leaving lawful issue, his share shall go to the survivors &c. No division among the three sons can. operate to give each a present fee. The terms of an order for division in this case should be confined to the present interest or estate of the sons.

Deoree reversed.
