Eldridge v. Marshall National Bank

TUNKS, Chief Justice.

This is a will construction case. The district court rendered a summary declaratory judgment upon the motion of the Attorney General of Texas, construing the will to establish a charitable trust and holding that all property remaining after specific legacies and bequests passed to the trust under the will. Appellants, Fred R. Eldridge, et al. (the heirs), appeal from the granting of the summary judgment in favor of appel-lees and from the denial of their motion for summary judgment that the charitable trust provisions of the will were invalid.
