Estate of Molk

The estate is ready for distribution, and the clauses in the will relating to the question for consideration are as follows:

The question is, whether these words create a trust for the benefit of the children, or whether the widow is entitled to distribution of the entire estate to herself.

The words used as to the children are precatory words, of recommendation and confidence only, and do not create a trust. The entire estate should be distributed to the widow in fee.
