Deane v. Home for Aged Colored Women
111 Mass. 132
Opinion
We must regard it as a general rule established by the authorities cited by the defendants’ counsel that whenever a testator has expressed himself so ambiguously as to make it necessary for his executors to come to this court, the costs should be paid out of the general assets. This case comes within the general rule. Decree accordingly.
