In the Matter of the Construction of the Will of Leon Gottlieb
McGarey, S.
In this proceeding a judicial construction is
requested of paragraph “ Third ” of testator’s will, the terms of
[941] which provide for a gift to a family corporation for the benefit of needy relatives in Europe.
The attempted gift herein is invalid for the reason that it is apparent that the gift is for a private use. rather than one of public interest (Matter of Beekman, 232 N. Y. 365; Matter of MacDowell, 217 N. Y. 454).
Proceed accordingly.
