IS THE RULE IN SHELLEY'S CASE ABOLISHED AS TO WILLS?
Abstract
In common with most lawyers, I had supposed until recently that the Rule in Shelley's Case was abolished as to wills in states having statutes providing that a devise to a person for life and to his heirs, shall be construed to create a life estate and a remainder in fee. A large number of states have such statutory provisions.
