How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “proceeds from the sale are so different that they cannot be regarded as the same or standing in the place of that property.”
• “[W]here a will contains no effective residuary clause and a devise or legacy lapses or is void for any reason and some residue remains, the assets go to the heirs or next of kin as in the case of intestacy.”
• “It is well established that the subject matter of lapsed or ineffectual legacies or devises, in the absence of contrary intent, passes under a general residuary clause where the will contains one and does not descend as intestate property to the testator’s next of kin.”
