Syllabus

<p>Will — Trusts and trustees — Separate use trust — Married woman — Act of June 4, 1879, P. L. 88.</p> <p>The will of a married woman executed during coverture will not upon her death, after having survived her husband, pass title to real estate vested in her to her sole and separate use. Such a will made under the disability of coverture, is a nullity, and there is nothing in the act of June 4, 1879, which will give it life. It was not the purpose of that act to create a disposing power in a testator just before his death, which he did not possess when he executed his will.</p>
