Eversole [deceased, testator or Eversole] intended his estate’s contribution to his wife's marital deduction trust be in the maximum amount allowed under the Internal Revenue Code 1 [I.R.C.] at the time of his death clearly contrary to the weight of the evidence? (2) Are Otis Eversole, Jr., Anthony Eversole, and Mark Eversole [appellants or sons] pre-termitted heirs of Otis H. Eversole? We answer both questions in the negative.
