Opinion by
William T. Carothers died unmarried and without issue. By his will he bequeathed $11,500 in specific legaсies to collateral relatives and others, including $1,000 to this appellant; the residue was given to the Old Peoples Home of the United Presbyterian Church at Wilkinsburg. Thе legacies contested in these proceedings were those given tо Mr. and Mrs. John D. Vensell, *187 amounting to $4,000. Appellant admitted decedent had testamentary capacity to make a will, but contended these legacies wеre procured through undue influence on the part of the Vensells. It is not avеrred nor is there evidence that such influence was directed toward any оther provision in the will, which disposed of an estate of $65,000; so that if appеllant were successful in defeating these two bequests, the entire will could not be overthrown.
Where a provision in a will which gives a legacy is void because of undue influence, the will itself is not necessarily void nor are other legacies unless such influence directly or impliedly affects them. Undue influence invalidates such part of a will as is affected by it. If the whole will is procured through undue influence, it is entirely void. Where, however, part of a will is caused by undue influence, and the remainder is not affected by it, and the latter can be so separated as to leave it intelligible and complete in itself, such part of the will is valid and enforceable: Page on Wills, section 131; Wagner’s Est.,
Even if it were established that these bеquests were procured by undue influence, it would avail this appellant nothing. Thе residue goes to the Old Peoples Home, which is not a party to this contest; the only contestant is appellant, a niece who hopes to strike down the entire will merely because she says two of the bequests were procured under undue influence. This cannot be done. But had she been successful in hаving the bequests declared invalid, not being a residuary legatee, she would receive nothing. Where legacies or bequests are declared void for аny reason and the will contains a residuary clause disposing of the residue of an estate, the bequests invalidated pass under the residuary clause unless thе scheme of the will or testator’s intention provides otherwise: Page on Wills, section 507. Where the contestant to a will that is void in part receives no bеnefit from the contest he is not entitled either to sustain a caveat nor tо take an appeal from the action of the court below; therefore he has no interest in the distribution. The right of appeal is given by the Act of Mаrch 29, 1832, P. L. 190, section 59: “Any person aggrieved by a definitive sentence or decrеe of the orphans’ court may appeal from the same.” A party who has no interest in the distribution is not a “person aggrieved” and cannot take an appeal under this act: Hand’s Est.,
The decree is affirmed at appellant’s cost.
