Syllabus

<p>Wills — Provisions against contest — Forfeiture of legacy.</p> <p>A provision in a will declaring the forfeiture of a legacy in case the legatee, a child of the testator, shall present a claim against his estate, is valid and does not violate any rule of law or public policy. Such a condition is lawful and one which the testator had a right to annex, in the disposition of his own property. The legatee is not bound to accept the bequest, but if accepted, it must be subject to the disability annexed. It must be taken cum onore, or not at all.</p>
