Tennessee Supreme Court September 15, 1920 (Eager v. McCoy)

lead-opinion

Mr. Justice Green

delivered the opinion of the Court.

This bill was filed by one of the heirs of Mrs. Elizabeth Haynes to construe her will and have it set aside as providing a disposition of her real estate contrary to the rule against perpetuities. The chancellor upheld the will and the complainant appealed to the court of civil appeals where the chancellor’s decree was affirmed.
