Rea v. Bell , 147 Pa. 118 ( 1892 )

Per Curiam,

We are of the opinion that John Rea, the plaintiff, took an estate in fee-simple to the real estate in controversy, under the will of his father, Henry Rea, Sr. The devise is to John Rea, “his heirs and assigns, forever.” The fee thus given is not cut down by what immediately follows. The greatest effect that can be given to the subsequent language of the will, is that it is in restraint of alienation, and, under all the authorities, void.

Judgment affirmed. C.
