New York Court of Appeals

Henry Whittemore, Respondents v. the Equitable Trust Company of New York, Appellant

February 13, 1929250 N.Y. 298

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the lower court, holding that the trust could be revoked despite the settlors' minor children not having consented, because the instrument gave the children only a contingent remainder subject to the settlor's will, not a vested interest that would bar revocation.
