Stevens v. National City Bank
Ohio Supreme Court

1Opinion of the CourtHolmes, J.
We are presented in this case with the task of construing the terms of the will of John S. Crider, in a manner which is consistent with the intent of the testator. Townsend’s Executors v. Townsend (1874), 25 Ohio St. 477. Specifically, the issue before us is whether the language of Paragraph 11, Item VI of the Crider will constitutes a mandatory limitation on the trustee’s general power to sell trust assets granted in Paragraph 6, Item VI of such will. For the reasons which follow, we answer such query in the negative, and thus reverse the court of appeals.
