OPINION

Opinion by Justice CARTER.

This is an appeal from a summary judgment in a declaratory judgment action which sought construction of the wills of C.M. Beckett, Sr., and Jo B. Beckett. The central issue is the distribution of assets of two separate terminated trusts. We find the wills require that each surviving heir is entitled to receive an equal share of the two trusts. We reverse and render the judgment of the trial court.
