Gernert Estate
Pennsylvania Orphans' Court, Lehigh County
1Opinion of the Court
Gearhart, P. J.,
— This dispute centers about the question of whether the bequest of $2,-000 to Oliver H. Gruver and the bequest of $10,000 to Gerald Reed are payable out of the general estate of this decedent, or whether the bequests are limited to and solely payable out of a trust fund created in decedent’s lifetime and set up as a collateral fund to guarantee payments of support to decedent’s wife. While the problem primarily is one of the construction of the will, it necessarily requires an examination of the trust agreement to which the will refers.
