George Stevenson v. Alexander M. Lesley, Respondents

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's judgment, modifying it to recognize that a child of Alexander M. Lesley born after the testator's death but before distribution is entitled to a share. The court held that the residuary devise created separate trusts for each grandchild, terminated at age twenty‑one, that the power of alienation was not suspended beyond minority, that the distribution is per capita, and that the statute of uses and trusts does not forbid such limitations.
