District Court of Appeal of Florida February 8, 1978, No. EE-304 (White v. Churchwell)

lead-opinion

MILLS, Acting Chief Judge.

We are called upon to determine whether the residuary and general beneficiaries under a will are required to compensate the specific beneficiaries for loss of one-third of their specific bequests due to election of dower by the widow. The trial court answered affirmatively on authority of In re Malone’s Estate, 54 So.2d 248 (Fla.1951), and Section 734.
