Hahn v. Leahy
Hahn v. Leahy
Opinion of the Court
Did the second marriage terminate the trust and set the point of time for distribution of the trust fund? That is the question to be solved.
As above indicated, the proposition suggested- was answered in the affirmative in the county court and in the negative by the circuit court. The plain terms of the will seem to support the answer as given in the county court.
“Upon the death, or in the event of the remarriage of my ■said daughter-in-law, . . . to pay, assign, transfer and set over unto my said two grandchildren the entire fund and estate ... so that each shall have one half thereof,” etc.
There is nothing ambiguous about that language. It is followed by two references to “the time of distribution.” No such time as to the corpus of the trust estate is mentioned
By the Court. — So ordered.
