Opinion on Mary Baker Eddy bequest validity in New Hampshire case
A Massachusetts Church’s residuary bequest to a Boston church from Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy is ruled void under New Hampshire and Massachusetts laws. The opinion notes the domicile of the testatrix, prohibitions on large gifts to a single church, and the lack of authority for the legatee to accept such endowments, leaving the residue to heirs under New Hampshire statutes.

How Laws Limit Church Bequests

Copyrights and Eddy Legal Question in New Hampshire
The Concord report fronts a Washington dated letter from December 24, 1910 seeking opinion on whether a church may take a legacy under New Hampshire law limiting bequests to churches. The document quotes Mrs Eddy from 1890 criticizing her son and discussing copyright conveyance of Science and Health and Unity of Good to trusted students to survive any will disputes.

They also plan to stand by a prior agreement to avoid opposing the will’s solemn filing in Concord on January 11, and to respect Massachusetts and New Hampshire laws on church bequests.

Directors Unfazed by Concord Will Action at Mary Baker Eddy Estate
Directors of the Mother Church of Boston show little alarm over a Concord legal move challenging Mary Baker Eddy's will. They warn a ruling against the bequests could affect other churches and reference past cases like Stephen Salisbury’s Worcester Art Museum gift. An unnamed Boston attorney expects the issue to be manageable, noting the funds support Christian Science aims and may lead to court appointed trustees if needed.
