La Bonde v. Weckesser

Wisconsin Supreme Court

Decided February 2, 1954PublishedCited by 4 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtSteinle, J.

The trustees declined to appropriate and pay any of the principal from the trust estate for support and maintenance of the widow for the reason that it appeared to them that her income from all sources, from the date of the death of her husband until her death, was sufficient to meet *645all of her expenses. They contend that it was not the testator’s intention that the sufficiency of the income for the beneficiary’s proper support and maintenance should be tested by situation of fact existing during a limited period of time as against the over-all period from his death to that of the beneficiary.
