Where this section sits in the code
- OK Code
- Title 84
Legacies are distinguished and designated, according to their
nature, as follows:
1. A legacy of a particular thing, specified and distinguished
from all others of the same kind belonging to the testator is
specific; if such legacy fails, resort cannot be had to the other
property of the testator.
2. A legacy is demonstrative when the particular fund or
personal property is pointed out from which it is to be taken or
paid; if such fund or property fails in whole or in part, resort may
be had to the general assets as in case of a general legacy.
3. An annuity is a bequest of certain specified sums
periodically; if the fund or property out of which they are payable
fails, resort may be had to the general assets, as in case of a
general legacy.
4. A residuary legacy embraces only that which remains after
all the bequests of the will are discharged.
5. All other legacies are general legacies. R.L. 1910, Sec.
