IN RE ESTATE OF GARRETT

No. 3-01-0066.

756 N.E.2d 920 (2001)

325 Ill. App.3d 123

258 Ill.Dec. 646

In re ESTATE OF Pearl GARRETT (Harold Bramlett, Objector-Appellant, v. John Bramlett, as Executor of the Estate of Pearl Garrett, Appellee).

Appellate Court of Illinois, Third District.

Rehearing Denied October 25, 2001.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Samuel S. McHard (argued), Law Office of Samuel S. McHard, Rock Island, for Harold Bramlett.

John J. Blake (argued), Blake & Ball, Galesburg, for Estate of Pearl Garrett.

Justice LYTTON delivered the opinion of the court:

Petitioners, nieces and nephews of the testator, Pearl Garrett, brought this action to construe their aunt's will. The trial court found that the estate passed as a class to the decedent's surviving siblings but certified two questions to us under Supreme Court Rule 308(a) (155 Ill.2d R. 308(a)). We hold that the estate passes per stirpes to the descendants of the testator's deceased siblings.
