Adolph Hellenberg, as Executor v. District Number One of the Independent Order of B’nai Berith…

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court, holding that the corporation was not obligated to pay the $1,000 endowment because the testator's designation of his mother was ineffective—she died before him and the designation was not made in the required form prior to his death—so the power of appointment died with the testator.
