Estates, Powers & Trusts (EPT) CHAPTER 17-B, ARTICLE 3, PART 3
§ 3-3.4 Consequences of partly ineffective testamentary dispositions of

property to two or more residuary beneficiaries

Whenever a testamentary disposition of property to two or more

two or more remaining residuary beneficiaries, in such beneficiaries,
ratably, in the proportions that their respective interests in the
residuary estate bear to the aggregate of the interests of all remaining
beneficiaries in such residuary estate.
