Succession of Jesse R. JONES.

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Fourth Circuit.

November 8, 1979.

Reed & Reed, Floyd J. Reed, J. D. Trial Atty., New Orleans, for Testamentary Executor, John D. Jones.

Before REDMANN, LEMMON and BOUTALL, JJ.

BOUTALL, Judge.

The daughter of the decedent sought a declaratory judgment to the effect that a provision in the Will "I wish my estate to be liquidated and reduced to cash * *" is precatory and is of no legal effect. The trial court found that the request was a mandate of the testator to be given full force and effect and the daughter appeals.

The law governing this issue is stated in the Succession of Barry, 250 La. 435
