Description
This is a will construction case involving a determination of the sequence by which legacies should be charged with taxes due on the estate, the proper classification of bequests, and the entitlements of income earned by assets during estate administration. The trial court ordered that all estate and inheritance taxes should be paid: first, from the personal property residuary as described in section 9 of the will; second, if needed, from the real property residuary in section 7; and third, if necessary, pro rata from the bequests in sections 1, 2, 3 and 8. It further ordered that all income from mineral interests would belong to the beneficiaries under sections 4 and 5, and that all other income would belong to the beneficiaries under the personal property residuary in section 9. In an unpublished opinion, the court of appeals affirmed the judgment of the trial court in part and reversed and rendered in part. We affirm in part and reverse and render in part.
