Syllabus

<p>Practice, O. C. — Decisions in limine — Wills—Construction.</p> <p>1. The courts of Pennsylvania have no jurisdiction to declare the construction of a will and rights under it by way of advice in limine, and without adverse litigants actually before them.</p> <p>2. Where a testator, after directing that the income from certain real property should be paid to his widow for life, makes provision for a fund to support a church pew in perpetuity out of the income after her death, the validity of the latter provision cannot properly be raised in court until after the termination of the widow’s life estate.</p>
