Black's Estate
Pennsylvania Orphans' Court, Philadelphia County
1Opinion of the Court
Stearne, J.,
This litigation revolves around a finding of an auditor (appointed at the request of all parties) that decedent’s son accepted a bequest of a business, subject to the payment of decedent’s debts — also, concerning the auditor’s conclusions of law as to what debts of decedent are chargeable against the business. These disputes are between the son. and decedent’s widow.
The testamentary scheme is plain. The son is bequeathed the business, subject to the payment of all decedent’s debts. The residue (except the relatively minor bequests not in question) passed to the widow absolutely.
