Where testator by will provided “All the rest and residue of my estate, both real, personal and mixed, of whatsoever kind, and whatsoever the same may be, including my life insurance policy, I will and give to the......trust company to hold in trust for my son, G., and his family,” the lower court correctly decreed that the testator thereby created an active and valid estate in trust for the support and maintenance of his son during life.</p> <p>2. In such case the question as to whom the testator intended to include in the word “family,” and whether the gift to the “family” at the death of the life tenant violates the rule against perpetuities, will not he determined until after the life tenant’s death.</p>
