New York Court of Appeals
Christopher R. Robert v. Jane R. Corning, Appellants
May 30, 188289 N.Y. 225
Summary
The Court affirmed the lower court's judgment, holding that the executors' authority to sell the testator's real estate did not suspend the statutory power of alienation, that procedural notice requirements and a three‑year discretionary delay likewise did not create a prohibited trust term, and that the legacies to the children and to Robert College vested immediately without violating the statute of perpetuities.
