It is the contention of the defendant, that under the scheme of the will the plaintiff as a cestui que trust took an interest to the extent of $12,000 in a fund to be developed and accumulated from the executor’s investment of personal property and from the trustees’ management and sale of the real estate. He also argues, that her right to receive payment did not accrue at the expiration of one year from the day of the testator’s death, but, by necessary implication, was postponed until the executor had acquired a *331fund sufficient to pay in full the gift to her and to all others similarly conditioned.
In that part of the will which creates and defines the trust, as also the duties of the trustees, no word can be found to indicate that the testator intended that there should be at any time a payment of trust income or principal directly to any beneficiary other than to the executor of the will. That such was not the intention of the testator is made certain by the provision in the trust which directs the trustees “To transfer by proper deed or deeds such an amount of land to the three trustees of the Greenwood Memorial Building hereinafter named as said three trustees shall decide and determine to be proper and necessary.”
The clause of the will under which the plaintiff claims, is as follows: “Eighth. To Lydia A. Gilbert twelve thousand dollars (12,000) and to her sister, Josephine Gilbert, eight thousand dollars (8,000) if they shall be living at my decease. If one of them be then living the entire sum of twenty thousand dollars shall be paid that one then living. If neither be then living these legacies lapse.”
This clause creates an ordinary pecuniary legacy payable at the expiration of one year from the testator’s death, and we find nothing in the other clauses of the will to indicate that such a construction is inconsistent with any express or implied intention of the testator. In all essential respects this case is not to be distinguished from Claflin v. Holmes, 202 Mass. 157.
It follows that interest by way of accretion is to be added to that portion of the legacy that remained unpaid at the expiration of one year from the testator’s death.
By agreement of parties, judgment in the above event is to be entered for the plaintiff for $233.46, and interest thereon from August 25, 1915, to the date of the entry of judgment.
And it is
So ordered.
