Jacoby's Estate
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided January 6, 1908 · Brown, Elkin, Fell, Mestrezat, Potter, Stewart
219 Pa. 554; 69 A. 46; 1908 Pa. LEXIS 621

Jacoby's Estate

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

In making a division of his estate, after the payment of specific legacies and such share of his estate as his wife might be entitled to notwithstanding his will, the testator evidently had in mind the residue of his estate for distribution, and the shares given were of it, and not of the whole estate of which he died possessed.

The order dismissing the petitions for review is affirmed on the opinion of the learned judge of the orphans’ court.
