Syllabus

<p>Wills — Vested and contingent remainder — Trusts and trustees.</p> <p>Where a testator by his will leaves his estate to his wife for life or widowhood, and at her death or remarriage, gives the estate to “such child or children of my said wife by me as shall be then living, and to their heirs and assigns forever, the representative of any deceased child to have the share of his, her, or their parent,” the remainders to the children are contingent; and the court has no power, in such a case, to award to the widow as guardian of her children, and with her own acquiescence, a portion of the principal of the estate, although it appears that funds are necessary for their maintenance and support.</p>
