138 Ga. 398 | Ga. | 1912
If a testator devises a life-estate in land, the devisee takes only a life-estate by virtue of the will. If the testator makes no provision as to what shall become of the reversion, upon his death it passes to and vests in his heir or heirs. Here the. widow of the testator took a life-estate under the will. No provision was made as to who should take the remainder. Therefore, upon the death of the testator, by inheritance it passed to his heir.
Judgment affirmed.
