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.
