New York Court of Appeals
Charles H. Warner v. Charles W. Durant
January 28, 187976 N.Y. 133
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court, holding that the $15,000 legacy to Oliver Blush vested immediately upon the testator's death despite a five‑year deferral, because the testator intended the legatee to have the principal at once with only the payment delayed.
