Mass Money for Masses Not Tax Free
Wisconsin Supreme Court rules that bequeathed masses are not tax exempt under inheritance law. The case arose from Mary Miller of Kewaunee County who left four 1000 sums for masses to Norbertine and Salvatorian Fathers for herself, husband, and relatives. The court also adjusts a Fond du Lac contempt fine to 60 days or 100 dollars and reverses a Preble annexation decision directing further circuit proceedings.
