5 Ky. Op. 8 | Ky. Ct. App. | 1871
Opinion by
This appeal involves a single question in the construction of .the will of Louisa J. Blanchard, deceased. By the will, she devised to her son, Albert Blanchard, a house and lot on Chestnut street, in Louisville, for which she was indebted to Geo. W. Herbert in about the sum of $1,500, for which there was a lien on the property. She made some other specific devises; and without giving directions as to the payment of her debts, provided that the balance of her estate 'both real and personal be equally divided between her daughter Oliva, now Mrs. Briggs, and' her sons John, George and Albert Blanchard. This residuary estate consisted principally of -several hundred acres of land in McLean county; and the judgment in this case provides for selling enough of the land to pay the debts of the testatrix, including that owing to Herbert, there being little or no personal estate, thus relieving the property specially devised to Albert Blanchard, of the lien of Herbert. Of this, the appellant Geo.
Wherefore the judgment is affirmed.
