Webb Estate Falls Short in Surrogate Court Actions

Two applications by legatees under the will of William H. Webb to compel executors to pay legacies show the estate’s value falls far short of expectations. Appraised at 692,885 in personal property plus real estate, executors say they have paid 100,435 and 55,860 in claims remain. Nonspecific assets cannot meet liabilities, so specific legacies and general bequests will be reduced. Much of the estate was given by specific bequests or placed in trust, with most to revert to Webb's Academy and Home for Shipbuilders, founded by him. The testator’s son, long an invalid, lives at 415 Fifth Avenue and was left 3,000 annually from stocks, with the rest to his mother.
