New York Court of Appeals
George C. Genet, as Executors v. Mary R. Hunt, Respondents
April 16, 1889113 N.Y. 158
Summary
The Court affirmed the lower court, holding that the trusts created by the will of Caroline M. Biggs violate the statute of perpetuities, that the power of disposition in the 1853 trust deed is not an absolute power, and that the Married Woman's Act does not cure the perpetuity defect.
