This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

Testator bequeathed his dog to Hand. He directed his executor to deposit $1000 in a bank account, and to pay Hand for the upkeep of the dog from the account. If the dog dies before the money was used up, the unused portion was to be distributed to several named individuals in equal shares. At the time of Testator's death, Hand, the alternate beneficiaries, and the dog were all living. Hand took the dog, and the executor began paying her for its upkeep.
