Heading: Susan's Will

Text: The plan of distribution in Susan's will was similar to the format utilized in William's will. Her personal effects were devised to her husband or to her children should William predecease her. The remainder and residue of her estate was devised to her husband, provided he survived her by at least six months. Should her husband not satisfy this condition, the remainder of her estate would pour over and become a part of the corpus of the Insurance Trust, which presumably, at her husband's death, either would have been, or was in the process of being, administered by its trustee. Her will also incorporated this trust agreement by reference and in Section V reiterated the presumption of her surviving her husband in the event of their simultaneous deaths. The final similarity in these wills concerned the contingency of a failed trust. In that event, her will directed the trustee to implement the terms of the trust agreement, previously incorporated as a testamentary trust. The will provided for no other contingent beneficiaries in the event her husband and children should all predecease her.
