Morton v. Jones

MOREMEN, Judge.

This appeal presents the problem of the interpretation of a holographic will and, specifically, whether the will devised a fee simple title to certain real estate.

The real property consisted of a house within the city limits of Lexington and a forty-four acre tract of Fayette County farm land which apparently had been divided into two tracts. One of the tracts was a small one with a house, and this lot adjoined the-larger tract.

The appellants are collateral heirs at law of the decedent and appellees are those who claim a devise of fee simple title under the will.
