In re Kountz's Trust
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided January 3, 1916 · Brown, Frazer, Mestrezat, Potter, Stewart
251 Pa. 582; 96 A. 1097; 1916 Pa. LEXIS 508

In re Kountz's Trust

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

The correct conclusion of the learned court below was that under Kountz’s Est. (No. 1), 213 Pa. 390, the deed of trust executed by Peninah W. Kountz on January 8, 1898, offended the rule against perpetuities and was therefore void. What was said by Mr. Justice Potter in that case of the will of the testatrix applies with equal force to her said deed.

Appeal dismissed at appellant’s costs.
