IN RE: MITCHELL'S ESTATE. (1938)

Supreme Court of California.

IN RE: MITCHELL'S ESTATE. REEVE et al. v. PHILLIPS et al.

S. F. 15643.

Decided: March 09, 1938

Bohnett, Hill, Cottrell & Boccardo, of San Jose, for appellants. Henry E. Monroe and Julia M. Easley, both of San Francisco, and L. F. Hobbs and Edward M. Fellows, both of San Jose, for respondents.

The portion of the decision filed herein which affirms the judgment of the court to the effect that parcel 5 is distributable to John W. Mitchell in fee is not to be construed as relieving that parcel or the proceeds from any sale thereof from the burdens to which under the law the same may be subject as a portion of the residue. The intent in affirming the decree as to that parcel was to end the controversy concerning whether it was a portion of the residue, or was distributable to Mitchell for life. The question of who is entitled to the proceeds from the sale of said parcel should await the court's decision upon retrial.

The petition for modification is denied.

PER CURIAM.
