Description

BROCK, Justice. OPINION The plaintiff in this case, Jonnie Lou Holley, has a contingent remainder interest in the estate of Adlay Marks, who died on February 10, 1974. In his will, Marks left his entire estate to his wife, Nannie L. Marks, defendant, for her life, to be used as she sees fit. Whatever remains at the death of Mrs. Marks is given by the will to Johnnie Lou Holley if she survive the life tenant. The only relief sought is that the plaintiff be allowed periodically to inspect the defendant's records to determine if she is exceeding her rights in the property by giving it away. Testamentary gifts for the use of a life tenant as he sees fit have been construed as conveying a life estate with power to dispose of the corpus at least to the extent necessary to provide support and maintenance to the donee.

Pettigrew, 38 Tenn. App. 1, 270 S.W.2d 196 (1953).
