Wills, Trusts & Estates Keyed to Gallanis
Arnheiter v. Arnheither
Citation:
125 A.2d 914 (N.J. Ch. 1956)Facts
Guterl died on December 31, 1953, leaving a last will. By paragraph 2 of said will her executrix was directed “to sell my undivided one-half interest of premises known as No. 304 Harrison Avenue, Harrison, New Jersey,” and use the proceeds of sale to establish trusts for each of decedent’s two nieces. This suit comes about because the decedent did not own or have any interest in 304 Harrison Avenue either at her death or at the time her will was executed. At the hearing it was established that the decedent, at the time her will was executed and also at the time of her death, owned an undivided one-half interest in 317 Harrison Avenue, Harrison, New Jersey.
