1Opinion of the Court
SMART, Presiding Judge.
This appeal presents, as an issue of first impression, the issue of whether Missouri law applies as to the allocation of the federal estate tax burden when a decedent’s will was executed in Kansas and the decedent died in Missouri. Plaintiff Marie Gellerstedt appeals from the trial court’s judgment applying Kansas law, causing the burden of the estate tax to fall on the residue of the estate.
The judgment is reversed and the case is remanded to the trial court for further proceedings.
