COURT OF APPEALS
ESTATES & TRUSTS: When will contained residuary clause that devised
two-fifths of residue of testatrixs estate to testatrixs sister, will contained
separate provision that permitted testatrixs nephews to purchase her
residence, will provided that, in event nephews elected to purchase property,
they would pay testatrixs niece amount that would make her share of estate
equal to theirs, nephews expressed their intent to purchase residence, and
sister brought action seeking declaration that she has two-fifths interest in
residence property, trial court properly ruled that will provision was
unambiguous, and hence, that sister had no interest in residence property; as
written, there is unambiguous intention for nephews and niece to share value
of residence property equally if it stays in family; it must be presumed that
absence of any language entitling sister to share indicates that testatrix
intentionally excluded her from share of property; residence property was
not part of residuary estate but was specifically devised otherwise. In re
Estate of Christian, 2/24/17, Knoxville, Susano, 7 pages.
