Money Goes to
The Wife's Heirs

Bangor. Me-, Feb. S-Rescript, Will
son, J.-Richard Huard in 1910 made
his will giving all his share in the
partnership consisting of himself and
Joseph Pomerleau to his partner,
Pomcrloau, but upon the following
condition: ,'Said property to 90 to
sad Joseph Pomerlcau upon his pay
ing the sum of seven thousand dol
lars TO my beloved wife Milthaldi
Huard. said payments to be made by
sad Pomerleau $1,000 at my decease,
and $1,000 each year without interest.
and not otherwise" The wife died
IN 1920, before the testator, and the
tcstator in 1921. Since the making of
the Will buildings had been erected
out OF the partnership funds on Ger
tain Of the vacant land belonging to
the partnership. and in general the
partnership property had greatly
appreciated in value. The testator
left no defendants.
Held:
That under the circumstances
shown to exist in this case the above
clause did not create either a con-
dlton precedent, or subsequent. or a
charge upon the devise. but rather a
devise with the payment to the wife
d. al exception lncreIfOm,
That construed as an exception
from the devise the Iapsins of the
legacy by the death of the wife does
not endure to the benefit of the de-
Vlsce for the reason that he never
had the complete gift of the whole
estate:
That the deVlsee must pay the st-
pulatcd sum to the party or parties
entitled to receive it, which in this
case are the heirs of the testator;
and inasmuch as the heirs are num-
orous and all the residue of the es-
tate must also be distributed as in
tcstate property, the sum named to
be paid in the exception may for con-
Nonience be paid to the administra-
tors G. t. 4. to be distributed with the
residue of the estate among the
heirs:
That the land. on which the stable
mentioned in the devise to Pomerleau
stands passes with the devise. it be-
ing apparent that the tcstator in
tended to give to his partner all his
interest in the partnership property:
and as the will speaks from the death
of the teStator any increased value
in the partnership property, whether
BY the addition of buildings or or
binary appreciation, must also be
held to pass to the devisee named.
Decree in accordance with opinion
Reasonable counsel fees to be fixed
b. the Court below may be allowed
out of the estate.
