Lewis's Estate

Lewis's Estate
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided March 20, 1911 · Brown, Elkin, Mestrezat, Moschzisker, Potter
231 Pa. 60; 79 A. 921; 1911 Pa. LEXIS 791

Lewis's Estate

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

The widow of the testator, for whose benefit he created the trust which she and their only surviving child wish to have terminated, is still alive. Who will be the ultimate distributees of the fund under the-will of her husband cannot be determined until her death, and the court below could not have made a decree terminating the trust without the consent of all parties in interest. Such parties were not before it, for some who may ultimately participate in the fund may not yet be in existence.

Decree affirmed at appellants’ costs.
