In re: The Estate of Luther Garrett

Case Number
M1999-01282-COA-R3-CV
The testator, a father of six, left a will which devised to one of his children a specific tract of land which, according to the will, was described in an attached survey map. No survey map was attached to the will. Appellant, the recipient of that bequest, disagreed with his siblings about the size of the tract to which he was entitled. After hearing both parties' evidence, the trial court found that the testator's intent was to devise separate seven acre tracts to both Appellant and one of his brothers with the remainder of the estate's property to be divided equally among the six children. Appellant then commenced this appeal. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
