On construction of the will as a whole the testatrix intended to provide for her son but the gift of the residue was properly read as an absolute gift to him subject only to discretionary directions; upon failure of the expressed trust the residue vested absolutely in Jordan and therefore formed part of his estate on his death (alternatively, in any event Jordan obtained an absolutely vested interest under Administration Act s78).
