ESTATE OF SMITH

No. 6745-5-II.

40 Wn. App. 790 (1985)

700 P.2d 1181

In the Matter of the Estate of AGNES DE PUY SMITH.

The Court of Appeals of Washington, Division Two.

May 28, 1985.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Douglas V. Alling, for appellant.

Lawrence R. Ghilarducci, Jr., for respondent Smith.

Charles I. Stone, for respondent Wiek.


REED, J.

This appeal involves a single question of fact: Did the testator intend to designate alternate remainder beneficiaries of a testamentary trust if, as occurred, the designated remainderman predeceased the life beneficiary? Because we do not find such an intent in the will and codicils of Agnes de Puy Smith, we affirm the trial court's judgment awarding the remainder interest to the beneficiary of the will of the designated remainderman, J.O. Wiek.
