New York Court of Appeals

Hannah Loder v. Gilbert J. Hatfield, Appellants and Respondents

November 13, 187771 N.Y. 92

Summary

The Court held that the legacies to the testator's daughters vested at his death despite a postponed payment provision, that the legacies were a charge on the devised lands and thus subject to the statutory limitations period, that the statute of limitations barred Sarah's claim, and that interest accrues on Eunice's legacy from one year after her death.
