General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Hawaiian Trust Co., Ltd. v. Von Holt, 216 U.S. 367 (1910)
Hawaiian Trust Co., Ltd. v. Von Holt Nos. 106 , 107 Argued January 26, 1910 Decided February 21, 1910 216 U.S. 367
APPEALS FROM THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE TERRITORY OF HAWAII
Syllabus
A provision that a definite amount of net income be paid by trustees to the widow does not entitle her to income from the death of the testator, but only from after the executors have been discharged and the property turned over to the trustees.
This rule applies even if, after acceptance by the widow of the provision in lieu of dower, it appears that the provision is not as advantageous to her as though she elected to take her dower.
In considering whether a provision in a will is as advantageous as dower interest, the fact that the widow is an executor and receives commissions may be considered.
18 Haw. 34, 342, affirmed.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
