New York Court of Appeals
Jeremiah Vincent, Respondents v. Sylvia D. Newhouse, Appellants
January 18, 188183 N.Y. 505
Summary
The Court of Appeals held that the testator's bequest of land to be sold at the widow's death created a remainder that vested only upon the widow's death, that the proceeds must be divided per capita among the surviving classes of heirs, and that Cynthia's share, having no issue, falls into the residue and is likewise divided among the surviving heirs.
