263 Pa. 258 | Pa. | 1919
The tenth paragraph of the will of Elizabeth Mc-Kown, who died February 2,1917, is: “All of the money that I may have at the time of my decease; whether on deposit in bank or in my personal possession or subject to my order and control, I give and bequeath to John W. McKown and Lennie J. McKown, his wife, of Los Angeles, California, (John W. McKown being a nephew of my deceased husband) and I direct that no account shall be taken by my executor, of any money received by me from the estate of my deceased husband and expended or disposed of by me during my lifetime.” On July 1, 1916, the testatrix gave an option to a lessee of a part of her real estate to purchase the same at any time prior to June 1, 1917. The offer was accepted some time during that month, nearly five months after the death of the testatrix, and the executors subsequently received the purchase money. The appellants claim it under the above quoted tenth clause of the will of the testatrix.
Appeal' dismissed at appellants’ costs.
