Brumback Heirs Seek One Thirteenth Share Of Estate
Brumback heirs Frank F. and Hermann Brumback and others answer in a dispute over Dixon Fullerton's will. They contend a one seventeenth part was devised to Frank and Hermann Brumback with Arthur Brumback later cut out. They claim Jefferson Brumback died before the testator and survivors should receive the share. They assert the residuum divides into thirteen parts with die that any dying class member passes to the survivors. They argue DC law prevents lapse of such legacy and assert sole heirship of Jefferson Brumback entitles them to the one thirteenth. They deny Arthur Brumback is alive and say he died before Jefferson. They claim the testator intended the legacy to go to defendants if Jefferson dies.
