Section 145 – Indian Succession Act, 1925: Bequest of Money Where Not Payable Until Part of Testator’s Property Disposed of in Certain Way

The Indian Succession Act, 1925 — Part VI, Chapter XIV: Of Specific Legacies

Section 145. Bequest of money where not payable until part of testator’s property disposed of in certain way

A money legacy is not specific merely because the will directs its payment to be postponed until some part of the property of the testator has been reduced to a certain form, or remitted to a certain place.

Illustration

A bequeaths to B 10,000 rupees and directs that this legacy shall be paid as soon as A’s property in India shall be realised in England. The legacy is not specific.
