Will clarifies estate rights after life insurance payout
The 1898 will dictates that if income falls short to maintain two legatees, the executor may withdraw corpus to support them while keeping the estate intact for the family. Upon the death of Emma Douglass without issue and the wife dying without issue, sisters and their children inherit all estate except the portion absolutely left to the wife. If either spouse or daughter refuses to sign for insurance distribution, that person forfeits interest, vesting in other legatees. Witnesses include WF Manty, Frank M Berry, and John Keely.
