Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
1Opinion of the CourtKirk, J.
This is a petition for instructions in the Probate Court of Plymouth County by the trustees under the will of Susan Barnard. The trustees seek to determine whether trust assets held under the provisions of the testatrix’s will should be distributed to the heirs at law by blood of the testatrix’s granddaughter, Mary Curtis, or to the executors of the estate of Mary Curtis. The probate judge by decree directed that the trust assets be distributed to Mary’s heirs at law by blood. Mary’s heirs at law by blood ask that the decree be affirmed. The executors of Mary’s will appealed.
