Supreme Court of Alabama

Lindsey Osborn Beasley

August 13, 20102010 Ala. LEXIS 143

Summary

The court reversed a summary judgment awarding Wells one-half of Waintraub's investment assets. It held that the will unambiguously devised only Waintraub's personal effects to his children if their mother predeceased him, while excluding cash and investment property from that devise. The court remanded for proceedings consistent with that interpretation.
